About Me

NO LATE MINUTE REQUESTS, PLEASE :)
I ONLY ACCEPT ONE SURFER AT A TIME AND ONLY ACCEPTS GUESTS THAT HAS AT LEAST ONCE HOSTED ANOTHER COUCHSURFER IN THEIR HOME.

CURRENT MISSION

Finding work as a laywyer.

ABOUT ME

I am a happy-go-lucky guy. I love to travel and try to do so as much as I can, where doesnt really matter, I usually find every new place I go to intresting and thrilling. I´m not into politics and try to talk about more everyday life subjects. After graduating high school I traveled for a year. After this I worked for a couple of years at a hotel in Stockholm before I realized I could make more money as a poker player. I found the gambling way of life suited me very well, no tough mornings and no timetable to adjust myself after, basicly all fun and games, just the way you want it.After a 2-year run of playing i decided to try and do something different and got in to a short law class at Stockholm university which I found very giving.After that, got into journalism school. Efter finishing i went to law school in Umeå (in the north of Sweden) and just graduated. To have fun and avoid doing boring things is my melody (even though I went to law school) ! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Mi casa su casa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will answer every request I get and will try to the best of my ability to host as much as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I signed up i actually hosted a couchsurfer, Silvio from Salzburg and this is where I realized what a great place this site was to meet new, intressting people. Thank you for that one Silvio!

Interests

I´m a big sports fan and like o watch pretty much everything, I listen to alot of music, usually electro but the variations are big. Like a said above, I also like to gamble (especially poker).Having a beer with a couple of good friends are also a high point for me. And chess! I love to play chess! :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movies: The usual suspects, the shawshank redemption and paths of glory

Music: Like I wrote above i listen to a big variation of music and it is tough for me to point out anything in particulor (no country music for me though)

Books: I´m not really a big book reader and usually just read when I am out travelling, I like the books by for instance John Le Carre

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a cricket field in India named after me.
