CURRENT MISSION A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. - Tim Cahill ABOUT ME I'm a happy individual who loves to meet new people. I enjoy traveling not only to see new places, but to meet new people with different backgrounds. I grew up in a small city in Sweden. At the age of 12 I moved to live in the United States with my dad and grandparents. (My mom is Swedish and my dad is American). I went to High School and College in California. I consider myself a genuine individual who is looking for pleasant interactions. I have played soccer or "fotboll" as it's called in Sweden, for the majority of my life. I enjoy being active and participating in outdoor activities. In 2012 I quit my job at a Biopharmaceutical so I could travel the world before starting to study again. On this 9 month journey I met countless amazing people! As for now, I'm just living day by day, riding a motorcycle across the US and trying to make the most of my time :) PHILOSOPHY Carpe diem! Maybe easier said than done, but I try to seize every day. I'm very grateful for what I have and the opportunities available to me. If I can spread some joy and happiness while about, then I consider the event a success.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have had friends stay on my couch and I have stayed on my friends couches. I've also met couchsurfers for a coffee or drink.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love to read and listen to Music. My favorite kind of music is Folk-rock, but I like almost everything. I like to start listening to more native music of the places I visit.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Scuba diving in Honduras is one of the best things I've done. I would recommend everyone to try scuba diving at some point!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can speak English and Swedish fluently, so if anyone would like practice with those languages, I would love to help. I'd like to learn and use more Spanish. I'd also like to learn any language of the place I'm visiting. I'd like to share a good time with everyone I meet.
My Interests
I have too many interests to list. I'd like to put "everything", because I believe I'm open to at least trying everything. In general, I like music, sports, outdoor and indoor activities, games, conversations and much more!
