CURRENT MISSION

To learn more so I understand that I know less. I spend every holiday I have travelling and when opportunity comes I move to new places as well.

ABOUT ME

An organized and logical kind of guy that very much enjoy to focus his energy on travels instead of every day life problems. Have been travelling like this since 2007 and always have a million ideas on where to go next.

PHILOSOPHY

The fewer experiences you have in life, the quicker it passes by
The more experiences you have in life, the longer it lasts

My goal of life is experiences

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to be an expat in Amsterdam and Copenhagen and then I realized that the best way to explore my own city is to have visitors and explore the city with them. That is one part of what I am aiming for, to explore my city alongside other people. I also enjoy surfing as it gives a friend and contact to the local life directly at the destination.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only heard good stories from friends who tried it and when I had hosted and surfed a few times myself I saw that it was indeed true stories.

It gives a connection with people all over the world, just to bring it up during a casual conversation at a party creates all sorts of interesting discussions and questions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Conquering my fear of heights during the Inca Trail in Peru, just by walking next to cliffs for four days and then climbing the odd mountain or two.

Teach, Learn, Share

Coming from the Nordics and having a Political Science education to stand on, I think that my egalitarian view on the society is a good thing to learn about. All people are individuals and should be treated as such instead of being victims of preconceived notions, we are all unique and should have equal basic human rights!
