NOTE: I do not live in Sollefteå, but that was the closest that CS would let me choose. I live just outside of Näsåker, famous for it's yearly hippie festival called Urkult, about 50 km north of Sollefteå. CURRENT MISSION Climbing a tree / building a cushion fort / staying alive ABOUT ME I'm a young street performer. I make gigantic and majestic soap bubbles for the people that are passing by. I'm also an unemployed press photographer. See http://papperskatt.se/foto/ for some of my work. I dropped out of school to pursue my bubble career when I realized that being an electrician (as I was studying to be) wasn't what I wanted to do anymore. Oh how I wish that I didn't have to be a grown up! PHILOSOPHY Don't make things more complicated than they have to be. I'm too poor to buy cheap stuff.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I try to host as many people as I can when I'm able to, and surf and meet as many people as possible when I'm traveling.
Music, Movies, and Books
I can't list all of 'em and therefore have to choose? Yikes! I really like to read, although I'm pretty bad at finding the time for it. 1984 is one of my favorite books of all time, as is most anything by Jules Verne. I also read and collect a lot of comic books. Mostly european humorous adventure comics like Spirou, Tintin, Asterix, et al, so I'm not your typical superhero comic book nerd (not that there's anything wrong with that!). It's hard to choose any favorite movie but some of my favorites are Star Wars (1977), Lord of war and Pandorum. I like dark and dystopian movies, preferably with some sci-fi. Like Dark city, for example. When it comes to music it's really starting to get hard. I do listen to and enjoy most any type of music but I guess that if I have to choose one genre that I listen to more than the others then it would have to be synthpop.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The joy in the face of a small child that sees my bubbles for the first time. It's amazing. When I see that, I know that I'm doing something right on this world.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, I could teach you a lot of things that you never thought would be possible to do with soap bubbles. ;)
My Interests
Well, bubbles and photography. Obviously. Climbing trees. Being a child. I'm a bit of a geek/nerd. Sci-fi and comic books are pretty much the basis of my existence! I haven't watched TV for many years, but instead I spend WAY too much time on YouTube... I love to learn about alternative lifestyles. One of my main goals in life is to live a plastic-free life.
