About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make it in the world of show business.

ABOUT ME

In a nutshell, I am a calm, pragmatic, idealist CouchSurfer, who is just starting to sample the good parts of life. It all started when I decided to emigrate to Sweden, even though I've never travelled before...

...but that's a long story :) Finding out about CS was one of the best things that happened to my life. I love being a part of this worldwide family of amazing people, and I'd love to meet you, whoever you are!

PHILOSOPHY

Each individual is born thanks to a set of incredible coincidences. If there is something sacred in this world, it's your limited time on this earth. Never assume that you can own another human's life, or tell him how to live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I counter my bouts of heart-wrenching loneliness by providing free accommodation to strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of meetings, some hosting, surfed once. And my experience has so far been absolutely fantastic.

Interests

I love good design, books, music, vegan food, cycling, running and playing frisbee in the park.
