Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I try to work as a sound engineer/music producer/composer/musician on a freelance basis, which is starting to almost work out. I play the drums, piano and saxophone and have dropped the idéa of a main instrument. I live in a fantastic collective/commune with 6 other people and two cats, in Bergsjön in north-east of Gothenburg.
This summer (first half of june) i will be on a tour with my band Halkan Balkan in Europe. We will mainly play in the streets, and try to couchsurf as much as possible. We are very nice people :)
I will write more here soon.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to live a life in a thoughtful way and to be conscious about how my actions affect others and the environment, while beeing happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I currently participate by letting people surf my couch.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I´ve hosted quite a lot, and surfed some. I´ve been a bit inactive the last year, but am into starting again. It's beautiful to see people trusting each other without any apparent reason, more than no reason for not doing so.
Interests
Playing, composing and producing music, ecological lifestyles and environmental issues, vegan cooking, gender issues and longboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies; Usual suspects, Seven, Wall-E, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption. And problably a lot more. Spongebob is great...
Music: The swedish group Esbjörn Svensson Trio is probably the best that has happened so far. Don't really feel any urge to mention anything else, but Goran Bregovic, Den Fule, Joshua Redman, Miles Davies is good too.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've traveled from Gothenburg to Paris on a tandem bike, with my dear friend Jens Boberg. It took us 21 one days on the road and 21 cold nights in a tent to go all the 2 000 km, but we did it!
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach the basics of playing the piano, saxophone or drums, except that i don´t have any drums at home... I also have alot of experience in music recording and editing and mixing and all.
