PHILOSOPHY

I think we all have a responsability for the rest of the world, in my life I want to try to change the economic structures which enable poverty and misery, and help less fortunate people. I also want to constantly develop myself and my mind, yet always have an open mind!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to house couchsurfers, but since I'm sort of homeless at the moment I unfortunately can't do that.
I'm currently looking for somewhere to live in Umeå, Sweden because I'm going to start studying there 3 september 2012. I'm hoping that I can sleep on a couch at some couchsurfer host until I find a more permanent solution.

Interests

I like to reflect over myself and the world, write and read. Music is also really important to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, the list is just too long. There's everything from Veronica Maggio to glamrock to folk music to trance to classical music.

I love books. I'm particularly fond of South American writers, such as Gabriel García Marquez. Other writers I like are Tove Jansson, Oscar Wilde, Franz Kafka, Fredrik Lindström, Stieg Larsson, George Orwell, Susanna Alakoski and Aarto Paasilinna. I also like to read non-fiction, mostly psychology.

I'm no movie expert, since I'm way to restless to sit in a couch for two hours doing nothing! But my favourite thing to watch is documentaries, all kind of documentaries. I especially like the Zeitgeist movies. I also love the movie Amelie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eight years ago, I visited Gotland. It was fall and the nature was breathtakingly beautiful. I took a walk, and during that walk I felt something I had never felt before; a veneration towards nature, which has been with me ever since.
