About Me

Sports loving athlete who love to get new experiences and meet new people. I´m very open minded and love to try new stuff. When I am not studying, I spend a lot of time doing sports and try to hang out with my friends and family as much as possible. The past few years I have discovered the beauty of traveling which I try to do as much as I can. I enjoy parting once in a while but I would consider myself more as a bar/pub-guy than a club-guy. Hosting me will be no problem, I´m social and fun to hang out with (I think so at least), I´m also neat and respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing is a great opportunity to get the real experience. Someone how is living in the area can give a traveler way more than a tourist brochure. When you are traveling alone it is also a good way to get to know new people and at the same time get a little more privacy then a hostel most often provides. Of course, it is also a great money saver since spending money on living is one of the most boring things there is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished one semester in Guadalajara, Mexico, as an exchange student which was truly an amazing experience. Adapting to a whole new way of living, getting to know a new culture, meet a lot of new and interesting people, studying at a different university and challenging myself to the limit is truly the best thing I have made in my life so far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I´m on the edge of being an elite athlete I have a quite different life compared to most of the people back home. The journey until today has taught me a lot of useful things which I apply in everyday life, not just as an athlete. Of course, I can also share how it is to live in Sweden. A lot of people knows where this country is but don´t know that much about it. As soon as I feel comfortable with the person I´m talking to I open myself a lot and can share most of my life.
