Hey:) Im Jonathan and I like to travel. I see traveling as opportunities to discover new things, things that are entirely new but also things that I knew before but seem different when Im away from home. Ideas and preconceptions becomes a blissful liquid mess from which Im able to withdraw new experiences.

But, I think first and foremost, and when i get the chance, what makes a trip the most memorable I belief is the people that you meet. Ive been using this Coach Surfing to meet up with people in the places I've been and it always blew me hos enjoyable and unproblematic it has been. Ive also done som woofing in Spain, and France where i spent three months going from farm to farm, and its the different kind of people that made these different kinds of places special, each their own way.

Other than that, i see myself as interested in most cultural "things". I study anthropology, and even if culture may be the way we eat stuff, or greet each other, I will be satisfied with keeping to books or films. That connects us too:) I mean the stuff we eat...don't get me started:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because i expect it is an awesome way to travel and meet people that you may have something in common with, but with whom one can also discover great/ interesting differences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
