I like to travel and to meet people. I have travelled a lot and I have friends in many countries. I'm open minded, politically involved (left liberal), and I have been a vegetarian for more than 25 years.

Please read my profile before sending me a request. We host preferably during weekends so that we can enjoy the company of guests and do things together, but you are welcome to visit us during the week as well.

We have hosted 793 persons (April 2024) since we joined in 2007. April 1st 2008 I was interviewed about Couchsurfing in Aftonbladet (the main newspaper in Sweden): www.aftonbladet.se/resa/article11933798.ab

Since I became a member I have stayed with more than 140 CS host around the world. It has been great fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to participate the best way I can. Hosting and surfing. Organizing events in Stockholm. Having fun together with all nice Couchsurfers I meet! I have had a really good time hosting many travellers in Stockholm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To hike in the Grand Canyon was great. The same counts for seeing the pyramids in Egypt and the Maya cities in Central America. I enjoyed scuba diving among dolphins in the Red Sea and meeting the mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very much involved in politics, and I can tell you a lot about how things work in Sweden.
