Me, Moa, Elis, Vide, Elna (our sons 12 and 9 years old, and a 3 year old girl live since 19 years in a farm from the 1890s on the countryside. We have two horses and some some other animals here. I play traditional music from various cultures - most Swedish and Finnish tunes though. In my spare time I experiment with rhubarbs, apples and music instruments and fix broken things at our place. I play the accordion, fiddle, contra bass, sälgflöjt and the keyharp. When I'm not working I read books about history, psychology, philosophy and sociology. I also spend much time building and repairing at home.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My friend Benny told me about a woman from France, who he was gonna meet. "Couldn't you come too?", he said. And I did. We met at a hotel room where we were eight different nationalities (10 persons), singing, eating, dancing in the small room! After that I participated here...some months later. I have only met interresting people by CS! I think we've had about 150 CS:ers here the past 15 years.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like movies in which there are several meanings in different levels. For example the Matrix movies. Music - I listen to the radio, Spotify...I like world music, traditional music....Music from the 20's - 70's. Concerning books, I read much history, religion, psychology, fantasy....for example. I am writing a book my self....but I don't have a deadline..

Most amazing place to be in was la cité de Carcassonne. And La Habana Vieja.
