About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live long and prosper

PHILOSOPHY

There are things in life that can not be explained. I try to leave them that way. To meet people and see all sorts of places most be the best experience you can have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet new interesting people from all over the world! We have a lot in common, besides being just people - lets find out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once hosted a confused couple from Italy (before CS was born). I bumped into them outside the ferryterminal in Visby, Sweden a late january night (Visby, the capital of Gotland an Island in the middle of the baltic sea, really cold i january). They were cold and dissapointed of not finding any place to stay over night, so i took them in ;) We had a really good time and they made me the most amazing pasta i've ever had!

Interests

I'm really fond of architecture, mainly old buildings - but also suburbprojects and industrial buildings catches my eye! I'm a huge fan of all sorts of music, quite into art and books as well. Photography is one of my main hobbies and is often combined with the love of arhitecture!
