About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see it all, do it all and enjoy it all!

ABOUT ME

Every thing about me?! Well I better get started then...
Born in a small countryside village north about the country's 2nd biggest city. Truly a great place for a kid to grow up, thue it comes whit a backside. As most remote places the transport takes a lot of time and the bus didn't pass that often. After I got my exams I was recruited by the arme, ended up spending 11 months in the air defense force. I did learn a lot and over all a had a real good time but the army wasn't for me so after the summer I decided to move 1200 km north and start uni. For 2 years I study industrial design and was besides that involved in more then half all the things that was going on at campus. Anything from the studentpub, different borders, organized student cinema, dancing, helping new students around and so on. I was super busy and thue I had a lot of fun I started to realize that I had to get away from everything for a while. It resulted in a year of traveling. I went to live in New Zealand and really enjoy my time over there. On my way back I stooped by in Australia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. In late august I was back in Sweden and weeks later I went back to uni for another tow years. Doing every bit of traveling I can when opportunities comes. One summer I took on a challenge called the Windy 500, 23 countries in 23 days in a 500£ car (we almost made it) on the way back home I join the tall ship race sailing from Åhus- Helsinki- Riga. Later that year I start working and started the "Svensk klassiker" it did consume a lot of time, energi and money and was sort of additiv. Still do travel on and of but after finding a passion in running I learned that you don´t have to go far to find an adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

We only live once but once should be enough, if you plane it right.
So dreamer or doer? Who are you, mate?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

On and of I taken on surfers and time to time I also visit some.. Hope to see you around

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fairly sure I have heard about CS before but my first hands on experiences I got during my stay in the small but wonderful township of Raglan. I had been staying there for a few weeks looking for a job and really enjoy my time. By my 3rd or 2nd week I started to get to know a few locals, one of those named Leon, how by the way is an amazing guy. After known him for a while I noticed that all this different random people living in his apartment.. It was after that I start learn about CS and even thuo it took me a while to get a profile here I been a fan of the concept ever since.

Music, Movies, and Books

Switchfoot might be the best band on earth. However i lisen to most types/styles of music. Films, i´m a sucker for "based on a true story" and the "how i meet you mother" series. Books i do not read much but when i do i prefer adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

life is amassing so don´t be afraid to explore it! and lets face it you are more likely to regret the things you diden´t do then the things that you do.

And even the most of the amazing things in my life aren´t very fancy or special for other because they just happened to happened at the right moment, it coud be a smile from the girl you fansy, finding a perfet spot then you are out hiking, a surprise visit/call from an old friend.. Tho thous normally dosen´t make any grate story's to tell so sometime a proper adventour are on place, here are a few i have done;
- sailing a tall ship
- work and travel through New Zealand (alone)
- bungy jump
- hiking mountains and forests
- visiting festivals and concerts

- learn surfing
- moving far away from home (leaving every one you know behind)
