About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to jack all trades ;)

ABOUT ME

A dude living his life on the go. My goal is to find our what I really love. To do this I figure I'll try everything I can, getting there. Travelling from country to country, working all kinds of jobs and educating myself both academically and through the school of life. I love to try new things. Especially sports and food fuel my flames.
Currently back in Stockholm and exploring the professional life.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to find out what I really love in life is what my journey is about right now. I'm not sure where I want to live or what I really want to do, but travel. Maybe I'm already doing what I love the most but then why stop..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I usually have one or more couches to offer my visitors. When I'm staying at a place for longer I usually show people around my town. I'm often up for "coffee or tee" or something else that's going on. When I travel I like to get in touch with couch surfers to share their views of life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got introduced to couch surfing through a friend and my first experience was a CS gathering in Stockholm (where I was living at the time). I much enjoyed it and started to host regularly as a result. Through couch surfing I've met many new friends and gained many new experiences. CS opens a gateway to a whole new way of getting to know amazing people. People that are open minded beyond their cultures and often very knowledgeable about all kinds of things.

I have to admit that the first time I surfed a couch I felt kind of out of place but after that I've just gotten to like it more and more. I haven't really surfed that many couches yet but maybe you can help me with that? =)

Interests

In general I think I can say it's new experiences that drive me. Whether it be in sports, food or people. I flourish in dynamic and ever changing environment. Naturally there are things I like more but the key to most activities is learning more, experiencing more, trying more.Although this is what makes me happy I'm a super laid back dude deep down. There is no stress in experiencing the world but why not be efficient while doing it?Sports: Snowboarding, Badminton, Diving, Rock Climbing, Martial arts, Street Dancing, Latin Dance, e-sports, HikingArt: Video Games, Movies, Photography, Painting, Food, eating, cooking, tasting, savory more than sweetEco living, sustainable development, Engineering, problem solvingHere are some of my shotshttps://plus.google.com/photos/112655149253085751422/albums/5642911387318286673

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is kind of wierd section to me. Maybe you think running from Komodo Dragons, Stepping on unknown snakes (by accident), being the difference between someone's life or death, Seeing a wild mother Bear with cub up close, sleping outside in -35C and seen the aurora borealis or living in a tropical wildlife reserve is amazing? for me my grandest memories are eating those perfectly slow cooked, spicy Cajun style ribs or watching a lone helium dolphin balloon float away over a crowd. It's waking up in the morning and refusing to get up when the maid comes in and attempts to clean the room or that random conversation about things that won't really matter in the long run as you enjoy the best sushi you ever eaten, in a Japanese back ally establishment.
