About Me

I'm a Swedish interaction designer working with education, technology and film.
I eat a lot of ginger and believe that you have something to learn from each person you meet.

I enjoy biking, meditation, cooking and eating nice food. I like to build things with technology, make music, dance and go skiing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted for a couple of years during my studies. It has been like traveling and meeting new people and cultures, but still being able to stay at the same place and study. I also had a year of traveling where I got to try the surfers perspective of CS.

I find that when I meet people from CS, most of them have something in common. A curiosity, a wish to help others and an open mind.

Interests

I like to build stuff with tech, make music and film, dance, ski, cycle, be in nature and cook. I'm also interested in nerdy stuff relating to cellular automata, complex systems as well as light and other math/physics/computational concepts 🤓

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Techno, Deep House, Disco, Trance, Soul, Funk.

Movies: The Congress, Boyhood, Mr Nobody, Perks of being a wallflower, Limitless, Inception, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight, Ruby Sparks, The Man from Earth

Series: Avatar the last airbender, Avatar the legend of Korra, GoT

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled 20 ski resorts in the alps shooting video commercials in 6 months one winter, and I've done a vipassana retreat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could show you stuff that has to do with video editing, arduino, midi and synthesisers.
I would like to cook something with with you that you enjoy. I'd love to learn more about crafts, and share your perspectives, thought and ideas on things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a surfer I can help out with choirs. I am perfectly fine with spending alone time, or if you'd like to spend time together we can get to know each other.
