About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up close to nature in northern parts of Sweden, 600km north of Stockholm.

Started traveling when I was 16, me and a friend went backpacking around Europe, It was something that really opened my eyes and I realized I had spent my early years living at the end of the world and most of the year in arctic winter. So I started working and spent all the money I earned on traveling.
Lived in Australia for a year when I was 21 and had an amazing time. Skipping a whole winter was amazing, making me realise I am a true sun worshipper.

At the moment I've made myself at home in the beautiful city of Brno, Czech republic where I moved for work. Here I spend my days studying czech, drinking beer and enjoying life while working with solar power Research and Development directed towards making people sustainable and self-sufficient.

My Sweden tips:
If you like wilderness and want to see the northern parts of Scandinavia, which is known as Europes last wilderness. We have a law in Sweden, "Allemansrätten" which give you the right to camp wherever you want(google it).
There is the train called "Inlandsbanan" I've worked on as a guide in my youth, that can stop anywhere you want along the 1300Km long line! A wilderness lovers dream.

Philosophical, curious, social, never turn down on a deep discussion, doer, a bit wacky and a day dreaming visionary.

Never fear anything but fear itself! Stay open-minded, follow the signs, and never forget to smile!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Non at the moment, Ive heard a lot about it during my travels, but actually never got down to it, always loved hostels, However thats all about to change now!

Interests

Nature and fishing are basic needs in my life, I love the ocean, and worship the sun.

I love travelling, see other cultures, see how people live in far places, try new food, meet new people, etc.. :)
