Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To do it all before time is up!
I am currently getting my M.Arch at KTH School of Architecture in Stockholm, Sweden.
ABOUT ME
Im pretty easy going, very social and adventurous. I seldom keep doing one thing for a long time, and I love changing directions in life; my work history includes offshore welding, systems administration, web design, industrial robot operator, and more.
Most people would describe me as a straight forward kind of person, and they'd be right: I tell it like I see it, do what has to be done, and enjoy it all the way to the end!
PHILOSOPHY
It is simple: the day I stop learning and looking to the next adventure is the day I die.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I dont at the moment. All this is new to me, but my experiences at hostels all over the world tells me I will love it. The feeling of community you can find in such diverse places and people that you come across is hard to find in any other place. My hope is that CS is a way to bring that feeling to my home.

Teach, Learn, Share
Even if you do not always know what life holds in store for you, you should try help others to find what is in store for them.
I do love conversation, and learning about the world. A big reason for being on CS is the automatic social context that comes with living in someones home: it is experiencing a place in the most personal way possible, and you get to learn from the inside instead of being a tourist.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm a decent cook, and would be happy to contribute with groceries and preparing meals.
I would definitely help out with chores, like dishwashing and cleaning if need be.
