About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change the times before they change you.

ABOUT ME

I am a young human being, presently trying to figure out which way to go in my life. What do I want to study, where do I want to be, what do I want to do? Many questions, many thoughts, few answers.

I am vegetarian/vegan. I am reflecting a lot about my life and the lives of others. I am politically interested and active. I seriously think that things will go straight to hell if we don't change our consumerist crap-society and start caring for the planet and the people we share it with. That's the thinking part of me.

I also have a brighter part, haha. I really like to joke with people and I love to go to concerts, theatre, movies and other things. I am reading and writing quite a bit and I enjoy most kinds of art and culture. And, hey, a night out is never wrong!

PHILOSOPHY

The stone that rolls gathers no moss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting and surfing, perhaps?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! Great, great, great. I have both surfed and hosted and I have only had amazing experiences. From my Canadian surfers in Athens to my Greek hosts on Samos I have nothing but joy and thoughtfulness to share, and I am very happy for all the people I have met and will continue to meet through Couchsurfing!

Music, Movies, and Books

Moving from punk and heavy metal a couple of years ago to mostly hiphop, reggae and indie today, I have realised that all music genres incorporates both geniousity and crap. There's great music to discover everywhere and now I can enjoy the saxophone of Charlie Parker as well as the guitar of Joe Strummer.

I read a lot and, in the same ways as with music, I don't specifically prefer any genre above others. Nowadays I read mostly fiction, but I have been reading quite a lot of fantasy and popular science as well. Herman Hesse, Jack Kerouac - ah, greatness!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I have seen: Meteora and Delphi in Greece. Both are truly amazing places. Breathtaking, historical, wonderful.

Amazing things I have done: This spring I went by bike from Malmö in the south of Sweden to my city Västerås in the middle of the country, a journey of about 600 kilometres. It was a cold, wet, sweaty and hard journey - but, oh so great.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share:
Thoughts, reflections, opinions. I love to discuss and I find it very important.

Learn:
To play an instrument!

Teach:
Hmm, this is the hardest one. Swedish? English? Perhaps something more, but I guess that my humble Swedish character doesn't allow me to think highly of myself!

Countries I’ve Visited

Greece, Moldova, Spain, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Greece, Sweden
