ABOUT ME

I'm an expat who moved to Stockholm in August 2011.
I'm easy-going, quiet, patient, reliable.... and a little bit workaholic. Probably drink too much coffee! I'm 41 but behave more like 30. Prefer quality to quantity - this is true for everything, including alcohol and food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I do not have a couch to offer but I'm happy to hang out for coffee or drinks.

Interests

I spend most of my free time doing the following: listening to music, reading, visiting cafés, watching movies, running, eating out. In the summer. I enjoy music festivals. In 2012, I will have done: Heineken Open'er in Gdynia, Stockholm Music and Arts, Way Out West in Göteborg and Popaganda in Stockholm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been fortunate to travel a bit in my life. In some cases for fun, and sometimes for work. In these instances, it has not always been easy as I have been involved in relief efforts after natural disasters. I was in Sri Lanka and Bali after the 2004 tsunami and in Pakistan after the 2005 earthquake. Difficult but rewarding experiences.
