About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet the world - my couch is your couch!

ABOUT ME

Hey, I totally like to meet new interesting people!

I believe I could be described as relaxed, open-minded and friendly. I spend most of my spare time in front of the computer, playing the guitar, painting or doing something other creative in general. I also like to simply chill out on my couch all day, daydreaming and solving the mysteries of life and the universe.

* Note: Why "Prohexa?" That's the name of my former band, we're not playing anymore but the name just stuck with me...

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to everyone - what goes around comes around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By lending my couch to other nice people, hopefully creating a nicer world in the long run.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It turns out I've been an inoffical couchsurfer for most of my life... I usually travel alone with my guitar, and I often get spontaneously invited to stay the night at unknown peoples place. And we always have a great time!

Interests

Besides computers, guitars and music in general? Well, anything creative, stimulating or otherwise interesting goes. (And ofcourse, friends, parties and so on)

  • festivals
  • running
  • partying
  • shopping
  • traveling
  • painting
  • music
  • guitar
  • astronomy
  • physics
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

I like asian movies! Everything from old Kung Fu flicks to modern productions. Actually I'm quite fond of any quality movie, it's just hard to find them among all the zillion bad hollywood productions. I'm also very fond of japaneese anime, but I would probably not admit that. ;)

Music - anything with a soul. From Beatles to Massive Attack. Again, quality is the keyword here. Currently most played band/album is Wolfmother.

Books - I have to admit I'm not reading as much as I used to. When I was younger I read every fantasy book I could find, but nowadays it's mostly popular science or technical litterature...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked (by pedal) alone to Germany some time ago... That was cool. I've also seen a few hillarious things at the Roskilde Music Festival, including naked people in shopping carts and attacks of the Love Squad... I could probably go on forever. Hey, life is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you about:
------------------------
* Computers - I've spent good deal of time with them.

* Guitars - I'm not a master, but I have been playing for about a decade now.

* Swedish - if you for some reason would like to go through the trouble of learning a language spoken only in a small country in the north, I'd be glad to help you.

I would like to learn more about:
------------------------------ ---
* Other cultures - in particular Asian cultures, but anything from outside of Scandinavia will do fine. I guess I'm somewhat obsessed with Japan... :D

* Science - I find astronomy, particle physics and quantum mechanics very fashinating. Maybe because this field of science has more questions than answers?

* Anything not listed above - Knowledge is my dope!
