Hi there!

I'm an easy going and adventure seeking Swede who loves to travel and experience new countries & cultures. I've travelled some 40 countries as of now, my favourite being Taiwan, where I've lived for about one year.

I have a M.Sc in engineering and a B.Sc in finance, have been working as a management consultant for a few years and decided on taking a break from the hamster wheel. I love everything spelled nature, e.g. hiking, skiing, diving, surfing, mountaineering/climbing. I love reading, and especially to take part of works of authors native to the countries I'm travelling - a great way to learn about the local culture & history. I also have a very strong interest in music and arts, David Bowie and Cut Copy being two of my favourites.

I just moved to Brisbane for new adventures.. :)

Best,
Oskar

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share travelling tips about the places I've lived and visited, e.g. how it may go when you order pizza at a fast food restaurant in rural Zambia.. :S

I'm living on an alpaca farm so I can teach you one or two things about farming as well if you'd like..
