About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get smarter.

ABOUT ME

I like to think that I'm a social, fun, intelligent, open-minded and all-round interesting person, but I guess it all depends on who you're asking.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm used to trying to make most out of life, but lately I've been starting to see that it's good to sit back and enjoy the view sometimes, without needing to 'experience' everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've used couchsurfing quite extensively on my travels, and have hosted lots of people too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and couchsurfed quite a lot, and I love it.

Interests

I'm really into music, art, writing and of course travelling. I often like people with similar tastes as me, but that doesn't mean I don't like to connect with those who have very different interests than mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in Sweden, Austria, Japan and Belgium. During all these exchanges I've met the most wonderful people and I still keep in contact with them. I think that's pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook stuff for my hosts sometimes, although I'm not an outstanding chef. Oooh, and I really like to make music with other people.
