CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I used to work as an accountant until one day I had had enough. So I went traveling around the world. And life has never been that good before.

Now Iive in Malmö, Sweden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had not done any couchsurfing before I went on my round the world trip. Now I've stayed with nuns, gay people, straight couples, single girls, a house full of girls, single guys. I've stayed in far out suburban areas, a downtown skyscraper, a historical building, and a basement apartment. And I've been loving every minute of it.

Interests

My favorite pastime is traveling and meeting people from other cultures. To find out what I've been up to over the past couple of years you can check out www.getjealous.com/rtwwithpeter and www.flickr.com/photos/pholst

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading travel stories. My favorite authors are Paul Theroux, Colin Thubron, and Peter Moore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Any time I've been traveling something fantastic has happened to me. I have been amazed by the generosity of the poor and downtrodden in Africa, the happiness of regular people in India, and the physical beauty of the Middle East. But most of all I am happy to see that deep down, no matter where we're from, we're all really one and the same.
