About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just do it! In the senses of daring, not postponing and not over thinking things.

ABOUT ME

Sometimes thoughtful and quiet, sometimes playful and energetic. Trying not to let dignity to come in my way.

PHILOSOPHY

Varför tämja en argbigga när man kan argbigga en tämjd?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now I have only stayed with people, but I would love to show the hidden, beautiful parts of gothenburg to visitors.
Only right now I live in Malmö.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed during my trip to China and learned things I would never have known otherwise.
I've been to France and met wonderful new friends and practiced my rusty french.

Interests

People, languages, ecology, international politics, writing, tea, history, trains. Swedish-, balkan-, gipsy-, spanish-, scottish-, klezmer-, arabic-, finlandian- and norwegian music. And then some more music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love playing music, making music, and listening to it. I love small concerts and band-rehersals. I like closeness to the musician, and music made by my friends touch me much more than that of bigger artists.

My favorite director is Tony Gatlif but he's impossible to find in swedish movie stores. Sadly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music: I play violin and could teach some swedish folk music tunes to anyone with an instrument or voice.
Tea: After working three years in a teashop I have good knowledge about different tea-leaves and how to make a decent cup!
Language: I speak english and Swedish fluently and would be happy to try to share a few sentences. I also have basic knowledge of french and chinese.
