CURRENT MISSION

Raise two boys and get enough sleep!

ABOUT ME

I live with my girlfriend and two boys (born 2014 and 2016) in central Stockholm. When I'm not busy being a dad, I like to sing and explore new pubs & restaurants. Not much time to couchsurf or host at this time in my life.

Interests

Music and gathering unnecessary knowledge (preferably while drinking beer).

I love to do relaxing stuff, say grabbing a bottle of wine and go down to the waterfront and spend the evening discussing something ridiculous.

But, as my mission statement says, I'm always up for trying new things!

• singing
• wine
• beer
• drinking
• music
• jazz

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I read whatever people recommend me. I own every Discworld book and must have read them all three times over by now. Life of Pi was really good. I like David Sedaris books.

Movies: A few that jump to mind are Interstate 60, Princess Mononoke, Den Bästa Sommaren, The Man From Earth and Dogma.

TV: Futurama, Mitchell & Webb Look, Monty Python, Arrested Development, American Dad, South Park. I'm known to occasionally quote Family Guy at parties.

Music: Lots of variety here.. I like listening to choir music on high volume late at night after I've had beers. I like listening to cheesy country music while driving on the highway. I like listening to bossa nova on the beach. Electronic music while working and live jazz at the bar. I love the Ultralounge albums!

Basically I have a soundtrack for every situation :)

Video games: Though I don't have time to play as much as when I was a kid, I still love video games. The old ones (super mario 1, ice climber, ...) are the best =)
