People usually describe me as calm. I’d probably be a pretty bad actor. I ask a lot of questions and I like to listen to others, reflect and learn new things. But don’t worry, I’m somewhat of an expert in keeping things from becoming awkward!

I’m quite active and I spend much of my time doing sports or jogging in a nice area with my headphones. I particularly like ice hockey, football and surfing.

I also relax quite a lot, reading, watching movies and listening to music. Sometimes I pick up my guitar, but I’d rather listen to someone else play! I love taking pictures and I always bring my Nikon when visiting new places.

I love being spontaneous and to travel alone, since it always takes me so many new places.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

So far I've accepted several surfers from across the globe. I've had great experiences and I'm very glad when I'm able to show my guests what I love about my hometown and at the same time learn about other cultures and making new friends.

I've enjoyed some great talks and strolls in my hometown, and also I've met up with people both here and while living in Bilbao. I'm hoping to also surf some day since I think it's really a great way to experience new places.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I crossed the U.S, coast to coast by train with my two brothers the summer of 2010. We stayed in San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and finally New York before flying back to Sweden. It was an amazing journey which displayed the vast impressive landscapes of the U.S, as well as some of the largest and coolest cities.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can yeah you all you’d like to know about Sweden and Swedish culture. That includes cooking Swedish food for you.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I’m a journalist and I’ve studied and written a lot about Swedish culture, pop culture and general behavior which I will gladly share with anyone who’s interested. I can teach non native English speakers some English since it’s a language I’ve studied pretty much all my life and I’ve also lived in the US.
