About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Performing stand up comedy in different European cities at comedy gigs there, constantly looking at flights to Madrid ;) and hoping to see new cities in Europe... maybe Cuba in the Autumn

ABOUT ME

A dreamer who thinks everything needs to be seen, I am always looking for new great experiences. I have had the chance to meet incredible people from around the world and hopefully I will meet a few new people trough CS and share some great moments and funny jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it

Loosers say maybe tomorrow...Winners say now!

People who give happines, can not escape receiving it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to go to the cs events regularly, offer to host when possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far met a lot of nice people, I hope to make long lasting friends not just friends for one weekend (not a fan of the one night requests)

Interests

I am really crazy about all sports, especially the ones I havent tried yet. Team sports are my favorites (Floorball, ice hockey, soccer, basketball) and I also enjoy individual sports such as Golf, Tennis, Snowboarding, pool and Snooker

Stand Up Comedy is one of my greates passions... doing it for a few years and it is great fun. I organise my own late night comedy show with performers in Frankfurt.

Most of them are more funny then amazing... They are only funny when told in person..

I did a 8 week trip to South-America to do a short documentary film.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some basics of Swedish, Finnish, German... or if you really are interested I can give some insight on the basics of story telling and stand up comedy.
