About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see my home town through the eyes of surfers

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy who is generous, open-minded and friendly.
I easily get fascinated with new topics. I love music and dancing. I dance a lot of salsa and started with some hiphop. I am also interested in learning new langagues and trying different cultures. Used to play the piano a lot, but dont have time anymore :/ I also enjoy travel, cooking and eating good food, going to concerts (opera/classical/jazz/salsa), movie festivals and other performances. Of course all these things are the most fun with good company.

My dream right now is to move to another country in one year and to start a small company for software/game development. I want to be mobile so that I can explore different countries. Perhaps I'd like to go to Seoul, Korea for one year and also study Korean ^^

PHILOSOPHY

I can talk about these things for ages.... too little space in this box :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A couple of years ago I studied Spanish intensely and then traveled for 3 weeks to Habana, Cuba and I forced myself to speak almost only Spanish. I have a great passion for Cuban culture,
and I had a really nice experience there. I think we have a lot to learn about life from different cultures. Also, travelling to a country and studying the language a couple of months before going is, imo, a great combination.

Salsa, Swedish, English, Mathematics.
