About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish my education in English and History and move to the big city to try to make a career out of that!

ABOUT ME

I like Superheroes, daydreaming, travelling and history! I'm a big geek and I would like to visit as many places rich with history as possible! I also really like the decade that we live in right now from our tapered jeans to our social media and I want to capture and experience as much of it as possible before it's over as I think I will one day look back on this period of my life and miss it. Anyone who was young in the sixties probably looks back on it with nostalgia every now and then. I know I will do the same for this decade.

PHILOSOPHY

You only have one life and one single chance to make it the life you always wanted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I've hosted and surfed though not from the site. So not "officially". But I've stayed with people before that I got in touch with on backpacking.se or just through mutual friends. When I was in Japan for a month I only stayed in hotels for about 5 nights at the most.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favourite films ever, if not THE favourite is Groundhog Day!

When it comes to music, I listen to a lot of Mumford & Sons. That's about the only single band I can say I like wholesomely, the rest of my music taste is just a vast assortment of stray songs. I sort music after songs and my mood rather than after band/genre.

The University has made me read all kinds of English classics from The Brontës to some big modern works but my favourite book series ever is the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My very best moments have certainly been in the company of friends and loved ones.

Other than that: I once sat all alone on the deck of a boat on the Sea of China going from Osaka to Shanghai and watched the sunset with some whisky in my hand! That was amazing to say the least and the night sky was incredible!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I have a big appetite for seeing the real side of the places I visit and I am VERY easily impressed so you won't be dealing with some snob :P I would also love to offer you my friendship and a promise that I will host you should you ever come to Sweden! :)
