About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning about permaculture and sustainability in order to in the future construct my off-grid farm in Sweden.

ABOUT ME

Outgoing and empathic, interested in languages (as well as accents, words, dialects, slangs, idioms), enjoys extreme sports and spending time in our beautiful beautiful nature. Cooking (as well as eating and trying different foods) is a big passion.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and learn. Face your fears. Follow your gut feeling. Don't care what your parents/friends/workmates/society think, just go for yourself and find out if the grass is greener on the other side or not :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To hosts and give advice to travellers coming to Sweden.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2006 my friend hosted travellers from around the world and I used to join him to show them around Gothenburg. They were always humble, sociable and curious travellers and the experience opened my eyes to Couchsurfing.

Interests

In the recent years I have gotten a bigger and bigger interest in cooking, wine and food as well as growing food. I've also practiced surf when possible (living in Barcelona means every now and then in winter) the last two years. Books and films has always been things that I've enjoyed and I have always been active doing some form of sport.
