About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently in Oslo!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Swede currently living in Oslo in order to become a millionaire; even though it's sure taking its time!

Besides that I'm interested in all sorts of things; like how stuff's made and so on. I'm a major language nerd and I tend to terrorize my friends and relatives with useless facts concerning the origin of certain words or other - to them - irrelevant information.

PHILOSOPHY

The only things you need in life are love, friends and a passport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the word as much as I possibly can - the local paper did a two page spread on me and why I stay at strange peoples homes instead of checking in at a hotel. http://allehanda.se/limelight/avdelning/reportage/14673

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed chez Bibby in London! Had a great time! And Helga came here! And Brad! And Marjoleine and Alma! And the Czech guy! And Justus, Johannes and Jesko! Plus I went to see Fabien in Paris! And the three German guys! And Emilie from France! And other interesting meetings and mailing across the globe, not to mention all the people that I've met and spread the word to!

UPDATE: That list is getting far too long for this little text box. Let's just say I'll never be able to live without the couchsurfing idea.

Interests

Travelling, meeting people, experiencing new and crazy stuff, learning languages, laughing, making new friends. I'm also into singing and reading, practical jokes and prank calls.

And I become extremely happy when I get to practise my language skills with native speakers!

Music, Movies, and Books

When i have some time off I'm occupied with building my own teleporter in order to save money on flight tickets.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have met random people abroad and told them about this site and later on found them here on CS. Now that's amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Surfing isn't just about a place to sleep." I couldn't agree more. Couchsurfing is about sharing cultural experiences and connecting with people that you might not have met if you hadn't been part of this community. People who are just as in to CS and all that it stands for as you are.

Countries I’ve Visited
