Hi, nice of you to drop by!

My name is Jonatan, 27 y/o from Sweden. Will be travelling to Kiruna from 28 June to 1 July to take pictures of midnight sun and moving of the city.

Living in Umeå, the biggest city in northern Sweden and a fantastic place if you're interested in music, culture and creativity. That's at least why I fell in love with this place.
I'm working here as a freelance photographer, working most often with newspaper assignments and personal projects around the northern part of Sweden.

I'm always up on for meeting up and share some travel tips in the area or just hang out. Couch is available sometimes, since me and my girlfriend share a pretty small apartment. But please do send me a request and we'll see if we can work something out!

Right now I'm dreaming of visiting Iceland, Washington, California, riding the trans siberian railway

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's honestly one of the best ways of travelling. I tried it the first time when I was doing a photo project in Shanghai in the spring of 2014, and I made so many good friends and got to see another side of Shanghai that I am sure I would have missed otherwise.

It's all about meeting new people and exploring the world a little more. Simple as that.

Interests

I live a very active life with lots of people around me, lots of ideas and projects and work. So in my own time I like to just relax. Meet up with friends for drinks, music, photography, watching tv-series and movies, running.
