About Me

Hi there friend!

I try to lead an exciting life and continuing this is getting more difficult but is well worth the effort. I am so lucky for everything that I have and I want to give back and help others.

Keeping the climate in mind, I'm trying to limit my air travel and intake of animal products.

I'm a hardcore clothist, I believe in wearing clothes. Nudism is not my thing. I seem to get invites from nudists frequently.... not my thing.

For last minute CSing, please write me over WhatsApp +46 70 276 38 21 and a CS request. Please write me on CS first so I can see your profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to maximize my travel opportunities to learn more about the world and meet more wonderful people. I don't like being an average tourist and I want to immerse myself in the local culture with the local people. The network seems like it has amazing people and I am quite interested in meeting these people.

Interests

I love mathematics and engineering and I hope to change the world with my skills some day! I like to rock climb, tour new cities on a bicycle, running, reading books, meeting new people, and traveling. Sometimes, I feel that what I read about the world isn't enough so I like to explore it and learn more about it through new people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost everything (Rock, Pop, Metal, Electronic) and I play mostly rock and experimental finger-styling on the guitar. I love to try new things and I attempt to be a guitar virtuoso.

Currently I'm listening to a lot of In Flames and Scar Symmetry as well as classic rock from the 70s like Black Sabbath and AC/DC. In an effort to improve my swedish also Pop på svenska.

Generally, I read the news everyday and scientific articles but I rarely read fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I pushed a small broken down bus with some people through the border checkpoint between the FYROM and Kosovo. The border guards laughed at us and told us that vehicles are more efficient when driven.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with lots of things! I worked in the past as a mathematics tutor and a guitar teacher. Also I worked as an English teacher for 4 months in Bogotá, Colombia. I will share my stories and experiences of my traveling and the wonderful people whom I have had the pleasure of meeting :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with anything around the house and I am willing to help with anything English, Mathematics, and most things Physics related. I love learning new languages and studying cultures. I will of course buy us some coffee, tea, beer or wine if that is what you would like :)

I've babysat, help shave a dog, helped with horses, taught guitar, corrected professional written English and Spanish, drafted punnet squares (xD), what next? :D
