I love meeting new people, socializing is somewhat of a second nature. It's fun and interesting to explore what other people think and how they feel about stuff in their lives. I also love food, like finding and trying out new and exciting dishes is always fun. Finding hidden places and lost gems in the cities I visit is why I want to travel.

I also really really love video games. I love them so much that I decided to get meself a Bachelor's in Music and Sound Design for Video Games, as well as studied Programming for Video Games during two years. Now I've finally managed to make a career within them, making sounds and music for games 100% of the time from my studio space in Gothenburg ^^

I've also traveled across the globe to learn more about African instruments (African Marimba and the Djembe drum), participated in 19 game jams, played loads of volley ball during the summers in Spain, as well as participated in a few sailing courses (with its fair share of epic failures to boot).

I like to spend my free time by being with my friends, play games with said friends, go to game dev-events and perform music with the different bands that I am a part of. I've also started to learn a little bit of circus stuff, mainly Poi and Flower Stick - it's pretty fun! Lastly, I am also fluent in several languages including Swedish, English, Spanish and German.

Oh and during 2017 I learned that taking a hot bath is one of the best things you can ever do with your life on a slow Sunday morning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel in general, but mostly I like to meet new people!

I think that meeting up with locals will be a better travelling experience overall than just following some tourist guide on the net. You get to *really* know the culture of the country and people you're meeting, and I really like that. I mean, show me the best local food place or hidden gem and I'll be super happy hahah!

Also, getting and having friends in different parts of the world is an awesome bonus ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing African Marimba with my swedish marimba-group at the Harare Book Café in Zimbabwe. I've never performed in front of a more welcoming, encouraging and awesome crowd. That's definitively one of the best experiences in my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to do Music, Sound Design and/or Programming for Video Games. Well, at least the basics ;)

I also know how to say "I am a pirate, pet me" in like 8 different languages...
