About Me

Swedish lad trying to make the most out of life!

Working in Sweden as a parkour coach, a discipline I've trained for a long time. Maybe I can teach you some of it!

I'm easy going. The movie "yes man" is a clear inspiration and I never say no to a new experience regardless what it is and if it's in a comfort zone or not.

Trained stuntman, scubadiver and explorer. On the bucketlist are bungee jump and skydiving aswell as jumping on a freight train just to see where I end up.

I travel a lot, usually without a plan or accomodation, and I love to meet new people.

Non-smoker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to get to know more people, hear their ideas and life stories! Also in the process of becoming a more open individual and couchsurfing might be one of the keys to that lock. I also have a sweet spot for new types of food.

Interests

Freeunning and parkour which I've trained for 9 years. It's my passion and what keeps me going.

I love adventures in any way shape or form. Anything from climbing the highest rooftop to trying to make a complicated new dish in the kitchen. I view he world as a place to explore, not just endure.

As for food. Love it. Want to try every dish before I die.

Cliffjumping is also a favourite thing to do.

Altoghether I love having fun and challenging myself. I want to go places no one has and see things no one have!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything goes as long as the company is right!

Music: Pretty much anything except for radio hits.

Movies: Breaking Bad is a favourite. Love movies that really captures the audience,any genre except horror will do the trick ad long as the script is good!

Books: Currently reading Thinking fasr and slow. Like books about behavioural psychology and such.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled asia for over a month with little cash and a 6 kg backpack last year. Doing the same again right now once more! Climbed Bangkoks highest building in the middle of the night for the best view I've ever had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you parkour and freerunning aswell as the Swedish language. I can also show you the rooftops overlooking your city with a little luck!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mutual benefits in terms of couches and guidance in Sweden! Good stories and company. Cooking toghether. Teach you parkour. Bringing you up to see the world with new eyes on top of roofs. Swedish and English language. Tips on managing injuries and rehab excercises for joints and other things. I'm very organized and I only take up as much space as me and my backpack. Easy going and up for almost anything!
