About Me

Traveling in July

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading the love

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 year old Swede who enjoys traveling and loves to meet people. At least if meeting people is meeting interesting people, which is often is the case while traveling. I'm a hyper social person but at the same time a bit of a lonewolf from time to time.

Only rule: If you have lame dickwad rules and secret codes on your profile for your guests you are lame and can stay somewhere else.

Also if you are a musician be sure to mention it because I love you guys.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love to meet interesting people and I think hosting gives me a great "break" from day to day life. I am using Couchsurfing when I'm traveling because it's a great opportunity to meet amazing people and find cool places.

Interests

Traveling, meeting people, discovering local food, local beer, history. Skiing is a big passion of mine. I like trekking and just being outdoors. I also dig physics, technology, math, politics, weird humor and alcohol/1000 -> ∞

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music I listen to everything between reggae and death metal, so you probably won't have a problem finding some common ground.

Books: The Black Swan (not to be confused with ballet dancing) A different Universe

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the northern lights! I guess it would classify as amazing at least, for me it's a little too normal. Although seeing it in the mountains in the absolute north of Sweden during a cold and clear winter night was pretty amazing. Glowing plankton are cool as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

My friends tell me that I am the king of useless knowledge so I can probably teach you a thing or two about history or random facts! I love learning new languages and of course I like teaching people some useful phrases in Swedish.

I've noticed that a lot of travelers are interested in seeing the northern lights, I can't make that happen but I will certainly give you some good tips and happily join you in chasing it if conditions are favourable!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice time! Traveling experiences and stories, Swedish cultural stuff, cooking etc.
