ABOUT ME

https://m.facebook.com/olov.larsson.5?ref=bookmarks

Hey, how's it going (whoever you might be)? So now I am going to tell you a bit about me.

I am a 34-year-old librarian from northern Sweden. My biggest interests are, in no specific order: Music, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, philosophy and cats. Those are the official facts. But what do they mean? It’s a bit hard for me to answer that, but I will give it a go. I´m an introvert in that I love to focus on a thing and learn as much as possible but to do that I need to communicate with others to share and learn at the same time. Travelling is a superb opportunity to exercise this philosophy. I hope that we get a chance to meet and have fruitful and fun conversations, rewarding experiences and whatever else that comes our way!

PHILOSOPHY

"The mind is in certain cases active, and in certain cases passive" - Spinoza (That needs development though)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to my own inner self and found someone there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share a bit about the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza as I have been studying his philosophy for almost a year with the assistance of a teacher, I can teach some rudimentary Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and perhaps a couple of languages. I´d like to learn any language skill possible, cooking would be great as well and any cool life hack that might come in handy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

You will spend time with an attentive guy that loves to listen and engage in conversations. I am off course cleanly and since I don´t drink or party that much I am a calm person that likes to go to rest relatively early. Plus I am on CouchSurfing to learn about the place where I am at. So if you enjoy sharing your knowledge I think we will have a great time!
