ABOUT ME

Hi all!

Thank you for visiting my space at CS. I’m a 29 year old educator, social media strategist and activist based in Sweden but works globally with various concepts around social change. Mostly I’m working within the context on my own company AwareHouse, but I’m also working with the blog network Transit Mode and a long term initiative raising awareness among people around the world on sustainable development.

Jonas in three context;

EDUCATOR
Educating is the theme of everything I’m doing. Because I believe what the world really need right now is awareness around how we together can change the world a better place. I’m working as a speaker, workshop leader and coach. I also use media and social network to reach further and touch people on a more emotional level. I love every minute of it!

ACTIVIST
I’m always standing up for a better world, and do what I believe in. I’ve been working with several NGOs on local, national and global level to organize people around various issues. I’ve attended, and organized, demonstrations and campaigns around the world. And I will never step down and let the egoism and short term thinking win. I’ve made my choice.

TRAVELER
I love to travel, and are often thinking ”what’s the next trip”. I’ve been visiting around 40 counties on four continents. This has changed me, to see more of the spectrum. I’ve lived with rich and poor, young and old, left and right. I’ve seen be best sunsets and sunrise during my travels and I’ve been eating great food from all corners of the world. I’m not planning to stop! Next longer tips will be to Africa again and then Latin America.

I would like to know more people using Counchsurfing, so contact me if you got some ideas or just want to say "hi"!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m always on the move somewhere in the world and I love the idea of Couchsurfing. I´ve used it a few times and I will use it more.

My mission is to:

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORLD
I want to see and listen. When we get all your information from schoolbooks and media, we tend to get a limited view. So I really want to listen to people along the route and get a better understanding about social problem, religion and the future of our planet.

CREATE COOPERATION´S AND CONTACTS
I will create cooperation’s with organizations, politicians, media, companies and the public sector. I want to create a global network of people engaged in the issues and see that we can continue to communicate. This is a key issue in my future work as a storyteller.

TELL THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
I can’t accept the picture we get of Africa, Middle East and Eastern Europe in the established media today. And I want to show the other side of the story. And tell you about engagement, creativity and a bright future. I will publish the stories in text, images and video at a website, use media and more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve used CS in South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Turkey and Kenya. I love the idea.
