Who am I? Woah, this is a hard one to figure out.

I am Jakob, a 28-year old Swede. I would describe myself as curious, and I believe that in order to be a master you should always see yourself as a beginner. I spend most of my time creating things, at the moment either doing music (writing, producing, performing), philosophy (thinking and writing), or making games.

One of my absolute favorite things in life is to have great conversations - regardless of topic - with other people. I enjoy serious discussions, but also the very silly ones (I have a soft spot for really bad jokes). I also like to just chill and enjoy the view. I do also enjoy beer. I like most things, really.

*** UPDATE: my profile used to be quite sarcastic, but i think i've matured, at least a little bit. Or have I?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing truly is the ultimate way of traveling and exploring the world. I believe that one of the ultimate goals in life is the connection we have with others. It is a sad fact that our modern technologies sometimes do nothing but isolate us from other people. Fortunately, places like CS is a great cure to this very problem.

MUSIC - Jazz/hip-hop/electro/pop/rock/classical/indie, well i basically eat everything, but to be more specific i could say Miles Davis, Daft Punk, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, John Coltrane, Radiohead, The Cure, Kanye West & Debussy.

TV - The Wire, South Park, Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, Sopranos, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, West Wing, Game of Thrones & Rick and Morty.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Ok, so this is the box where i can brag and get away with it?
I've climbed the highest mountains of Sweden, Norway and Poland. Next up is Denmark (171m).
I've made more than 300+ gigs as a music performer.

I've also seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will NOT be lost in time, like tears in rain.
It's time to live. (Ok, so this is a movie reference, i'm not crazy)

教，学，和分享

If you got a snail-problem, I could teach you how to build salt-labyrinths for snails.

I'm happy to share everything I know, may it be my cooking skills, what I know about language, cultural experiences or random anecdotes. I've spent the major part of my life trying to play, create and produce music and would love to share any skills/knowledge of that area. I also like to think about stuff, and I'd be happy to share some thoughts if you want to.
