About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cycle around the world, bit by bit, casual.

ABOUT ME

I love fixing and repairing things, creating stuff, and love bicycle touring as a way to travel. I recently slayed a trip from the South of Sweden to north of the arctic circle and have a vague plan to cycle around the world bit by bit. Having just finished studying I'm on a mission to explore the world and have some adventures.

I'm now slowly learning to travel ever lighter and realising how much I enjoy not carrying everything I own around when I travel!

PHILOSOPHY

Let's be awesome and make stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always keen to meet new people and explore new places. Get in touch if you want to meet up and explore somewhere or even to suggest somewhere you think I'd like to go to!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed when travelling with some friends before, and had a great time meeting the amazing hosts. I love the way you get to do things that were completely off your plan when you first arrived, seeing elephants in the middle of suburb of Gothenburg being a key example.

Interests

I love cycling and playing around with bikes, making and fixing things is an important part of my life, and if I can combine that with some great music and maybe some ale I'm onto a winner.

Really enjoying making little films at the moment and getting into video editing and pretending like my life is one giant skateboarding video.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read half of Les Miserable five years ago, and have just gotten around to reading the second volume. I usually read faster than this and enjoy authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Arthur C Clarke, and Douglas Adams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding my bicycle along a deserted rode in Northern Sweden, with a Reindeer calf and it's mother running alongside me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you bicycle repair if you want, or if you've shredded all your stuff travelling, I'll teach you to sew it back together again!

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Netherlands, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
