My name is Isak and I love a good chat about science, philosophy and everyday life. Travelling is something I enjoy doing but also meeting new people in surprising places!

I am very interested in artificial intelligence and technology. The world is moving faster and faster, who knows what it will look like tomorrow?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every person has an interesting life story and carry with them a unique set of skills and experience. People are great and I'm always out to make new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big fan of music in all forms, although I tend to listen a lot to rock in many form (Tame Impala, Radiohead, DavidBowie) and electronica (Caribou, Neon Indian and other chillwave artists, big fan of synthpop in general!) mixed in with some hiphop due to doing breakdance for 7+ years.

Movies are the standard: Fight Club, Requiem for a dream, although I used to watch a lot of niche films when I was younger, in particular odd ones such as Kids and Gummo.

Books is just scifi and dystopian novels all of the way. Really like Brave New World and A Handmaiden's Tale.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Japan alone as an exchange student when I was 17. I lived in 3 Japanese families and went to Japanese High School. I knew nothing of the culture or the language when I first set foot in Tokyo, but leaving I considered it a second home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can exchange maths help for a beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything, pretty much, I'm not picky.
