About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in the U.S. My mission is to create a berningman festival tour to involve, excite and inspire people to come together to create a new kind of unity.
We're the only ones who can create democracy and we all need to vote anyway so lets just come together as a people, dance, sing and have fun and by the end of the year I think we'll have a great new president but more importantly we'll know a lot more of our fellow American friends and what we all have to share with each other.

Traveling around to see, learn, experience, co-create, find friends and love and share stories and experiences... I definitely feel I'm going somewhere for a really good reason !

ABOUT ME

Felt lost growing up, out of place, escaped into a hardworking salesman world, got burned out and really bored of that life, been traveling since then, every day is a new adventure, every path has something to show me, every person has some meaning in this big journey of our lives... Right now most of what I do keep circling around Health, Nutrition, Yoga and Sustainable Farming.
well thats pretty much me, I try to be happy almost all of the time and strive to have an optimistic look on things

I feel that as long as I like life, life likes me

PHILOSOPHY

You can do what you want, so do it...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now by traveling around spreading the word about democracy, people power, freedom of speech and the power of US the people, I'm also an avid believer in social democracy, I grew up in Sweden where we used to have a GREAT social system and I believe its the only way to care for a population.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hitchhiking up the west coast from San Francisco to Portland, I had heard about a cute little town called arcata that was almost midway in between them both, I planned to stay there for a couple of days and Looked up a girl called skye to couchsurf with. I ended up staying there for three months, then going back down to san francisco to extend my visa before heading back up to arcata for two more months and then finally i managed to get to portland 5 months later then planned But I LOVED the experience and I keep going back. that was nine years ago now and since then I've been in and out, mostly doing "offline" couchsurfing with signs or just providing couch space to fellow travelers I meet on the road.

Interests

Yoga, Health, being healthy and inspiring others to live healthier, fuller lives, to live their dreams, We all have hearth desires which i believe we need to listen more too. I strive to wake that inner desire, that urge most people have inside them, to do something more, something just for the fun of it. To help people act from the hearth That's my biggest interest. Other then that, Dancing ! I love Dancing, festivals, sustainable farming.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fight Club, 12 monkeys, Alot of strange french&Spanish movies, Like alot of strange or psychadelic or just somehow twisted movies books and music, I think thats the most important thing for me, That it's Really Passionate and heartfelt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone out alone halfway across the world without planning anything and without telling anyone just cause it felt like the right thing to do, and it WAS, Life is Magical if you follow that Brave Heart of yours...
Then you really do find the magic...

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga Health nutts, Shamans, Farmers, Artists, Dancers, Circus people, Musicians and Mostly Anyone with a friendly Happy attitude

I'm trying to learn more about the political, legal system in charge of all these weird bureaucracies so that's something I'm interested in, also diplomacy and Non violent communication.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, from ten years of travel with good recommendations for where to go and which friends and communities I'd recommend going to. I know some spanish though its been a few years since I lived down in south america but it comes back as soon as I start trying. I LOVE to COOK, and also to do DISHES, I lived in a lot of communities and the best thing I know is to get up 2 hours before anyone and drink tea and do dishes.
