About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surviving the polar night. Living above the arctic circle you don't see the sun for a couple of months. Excited about the days getting more light!
Also trying to figure out wether to keep on working in the mountains as a guide or if I should sing, act and dance more.

ABOUT ME

A fun, friendly and odd bird who needs travel, people, music, mountains, weirdness, nature and theatre to be able to fly.. he he, Im usually not that cheesy though.
Hakuna Matata.

PHILOSOPHY

If you mess with mother nature, she'll mess you right back.

Other than that we should try to have fun and love; if we're free enough to have that oppurtunity. Being down is a part of life though, ofc.
That we should be nice to one another and that everyone should have the same rights and everyone should be free to love whoever they want. Stuff like that. Utopia philosphy.

Less screens would be great. More blues and dancing would be great.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this moment only by surfing. So by being a kind and friendly surfer, who will share and care!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Havent had that many yet, but so far its been great. Such a good way to get in to other cultures and meet locals.

Interests

Used to travel lots before. Loved it, new cultures, food, people, languages, beatiful places. What else is there, really?
But got too rootless and kinda lonely. So moved up north in Finland and Sweden.
Reason why I'm working super far up north in Sweden is 'cause you get so close to nature and serenity up here.
Nature's the best.

Climbing lots, getting strong. Puzzle with my muscle, eh.

What really keeps me going I guess is music. Love singing. Acting as well.
Also environmental issues, human rights, like people loving whoever they want, womens rights and not having to live in war and such things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I saw Queen last year (2016) in concert(!). actually only half of Queen and Adam Lambert. It was absolutely amazing, dropped my chin and all that but I kinda wish Freddie Mercury was still alive.

"A thousand splendid suns" by Khaled Hosseini is breathtaking. Literally.

When watching the french movie "Amélie" I always get this inspiration from her character to do all these corny and wonderful things. If you can't relate, you need to see the movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ecstatic dance in Portland. It's weird, funkt and you just let yourself go, try it out. Everyone needs a bit of dancing in their lives.
