About Me

Hi!
My name is Paul, I'm a musician, videographer, designer and human being from Sweden. I believe that meeting people, listening and caring for one another is probably the best way to spend our time if we have the privilege to do so. I love playing music, singing, eating good food, talking to new people. Sounds like most couchsurfers, I know, but I guess that's what I like about this place.

Best /Paul

Also, although ideally it shouldn't have to be said, I have zero interest in using couchsurfing for any kind of dating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because experiencing a place is all about the people, not the monuments!
I think learning about other cultures and seeing other perspectives on life than the one I'm born with is incredibly important, and for me, hosting couchsurfers is kind of like traveling while being at home, only that the outside perspectives and experiences come to you, instead of you going out there to get it.

And I'm a sucker for languages, so prepare yourself for a lot of questions if you speak a language I don't know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year for the first time ever, I went ice bathing in the Stockholm archipelago. It was actually not as heart wrenchingly cold as I thought it would be, and afterwards, it feels amazing ❄️

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to play some guitar or the ukulele (and curse words in Swedish of course).

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, a good oatmeal, limited knowledge of Swedish history.
