Hi!
Shortly, I'm a guy with music as my main interest. Both for work and as hobby.
This entails working in a library focused on music, film and art, collecting vinyls, dj:ing, attending concerts and festivals and making sound art/electroacoustic music.

I also enjoy travelling and as my kids now are more or less grown up I intend to spend some time on the road.
So far five months and I'll continue a while.
I'm easy going and appreciate silence as much as conversation or a party.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing as I like meeting new people and prefer alternative travelling to hostel-hopping.
I intend to open up my house as I return to Sweden in order to help people have a place to stay and to give tips on what to do and where to go.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: A wide range. I like 14th to 15th century western classical, death metal, progressive rock, 50's mambo and rumba, grime, Somalian 70's music, turcadelica, Swedish traditional fiddle music, Japanese koto music, psytrance, drill 'n' bass, 70s salsa and much more.

Movies: mostly intelligent Sci-Fi and classics like Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Rohmer etc. Great 60's and 70's movies but also enjoy modern action and Marvel movies and comedies :) I'm too faint hearted for horror movies and with age (?) becoming very sensitive to drama involving realistic violence, depression, people being evil and the like.

Even though I'm working as a librarian I don't read so much these days. If I do I mostly read old novels or non fiction. Linguistics has been a favourite subject lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my own opinion, catching my kids as they first saw the light were pretty awesome experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't really know what to write here. But I totally endorse people teaching, learning and sharing knowledge, information, feelings etc. in respectful and open minded ways.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, fun stuff, listening capabilities, cultural tips etc.
