About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go to Festival au Desert in the Malian desert of Sahara.

ABOUT ME

I wanna travel, travel, travel. And while I travel I wanna play music, dance, drink coffee and ice tea with strangers and learn everything about them. Most of my time and money is spent on travels and music, and I hope to keep it that way. I like challenges and to leave my comfort zone, which has brought me great adventures and many new friends from different cultures. When I travel my first choice is always to get to know inspiring locals before taking the easy (and less interesting) suggestions of a tourist guide/book. And oh, I often bring my mandolin with me on my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf whenever there is a chance, in order to meet great locals. I can't wait to host my first surfer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I haven't hosted any surfers, mainly due to the fact that I haven't lived home in Sweden for a few years and have only had temporary flats/rooms abroad. I can't wait to have my first surfer staying over though!

I've been surfing in France and Morocco, and have only had great experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my top moments was seeing a stunning moonrise in the amazing mountains of Todra Gorge, Morocco. A wild and loud Arabic music jam session went deafeningly silent in an instant, as the bright moon rose and lit up the red mountains that were surrounding us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will teach you play the mandolin and to play and sing Scandinavian folk songs. And maybe even to dance the traditional dances.
