I'm a middle age (fiftysomething, but views myself as younger) balding geek, working as invigliator at Uppsala University. Has previously worked as graphic designer, computer instructor, and photographer. Surivour of stress related burn-out, which made me a lot more laid-back, but also from time to time made me less gregarious. Agnostic, veering to atheist, but not (i.m.h.o.) fanatic or intolerant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have diven a 4x4 across the Iceland inland. I was one of the instigators of "Flogstavrålet" http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-flogsta-scream This page dates it as have been started in "the 1970s" but I can state with certainty that it was the fall of 1987. Academic traditions have a way of aggraniaze themselves ... ;)
