About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people with different cultures, different way of thinking, different typ of life

ABOUT ME

Trying hard to stay young by hanging around with students and living in a student-collective instead of getting an own apartment and accept that my student years are over now when I am a permanently employed official

PHILOSOPHY

I'am living for the idea of a sustainable life on a sustainable planet.

When I'am done as a an environmental agency official do I have a dream that I will open a sustainable nature-hostel in the north of Sweden. A place that people could visit a day or two before and after kajaking, hinking, climbing, mountain-bikeing adventures to the nearby nature. A place of elementary standard open to everyone independently to their walletsize,

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best CouchSurfing experience was when I and my friend Nils did an railway-holiday through Europe summer 2012. After a 8 hours trip with french local trains without air condition (over 30 degrees Celsius), we finally arrived to Antibes were our hosts lived. We got picked up at the train station and were droven to our hosts place. At the apartment we were asked if we were hungry. The hosts where muslims from Turkey had prepared a special Turkish ramadan supper since they were fasting ramadan. We had a lovely diner at their balcony with a view over the Mediterranean ocean and talked about swedish vikings and Turkish-mongolean horse-riders.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some years ago I had a wonderful iceskating day at a newly frozen lake in the middle of Sweden. The ice were transparent and me and my skating friends could se the bottom of the lake while skating around. Sometimes we had to jump between ice floes.
