About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see double at the triple rock

ABOUT ME

Good natured, relaxed and laid-back, with an appreciation of a good (or a bad, it depends on your definition really) sense of humor.
I am a relatively outgoing person (which can "evolve" into being really outgoing if the company is right)
I enjoy the simple joys of life like having a good night out with friends or going on a camping trip.
I also spend a lot of time trying to make sense of this beautiful mess of a world we live in. Which means I am interested in gathering as many viewpoints as possible on the subject!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be as open-minded as possible and live life to it's fullest, by meeting new people, new places and having new experiences.
As a wiser man than myself has said: "Uncork the wine, enjoy the dance, and let the Gods decide the rest"

I enjoy photography and taking pictures of cool places, things and people
And last but not least music and films, couldn't imagine life without them!

Music, Movies, and Books

Here's an attempt at making a list of my favorite "things" when it comes to cinema, music and books

Movies: Lost in Translation, The Big Lebowski, North by Northwest, Mean Streets, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Down by Law, True Romance, Donnie Darko etc. etc.

Music:Pavement, The Flaming Lips, Neil Young, Nick Cave, Queens of the Stone Age, Wilco, Tom Waits, Charles Mingus, Red Hot Chili Peppers... depending on my mood will listen to anything from indie to stoner rock, from Brazilian to some rap and from electro to (alt-)country music. Add some punk rock, psychedelic rock from the 60's and 70's, good old rock 'n' roll and funk/soul to the mix and you get the idea.

Books: Well this "list" wouldn't be complete without mentioning the likes of Charles Bukowski, Tom Robbins, Henry Miller, Nikos Kazantzakis, John Steinbeck, Kurt Vonnegut, Raymond Carver and Jack Kerouac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can't really decide.. It's either hiking to the top of Mt. Olympus and enjoying the view and nature or seeing the Northern Lights in the middle of nowhere in northern Sweden.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share my personal worldview haha, my favorite places in my home city, experiences from the cities i have traveled to and perhaps some of my knowledge on the subject of architecture.
I would like to learn things about my visitors' home country and culture (be it language, music, religion, cinema, art etc) and perhaps things such as photography, playing "weird" musical instruments etc
