About Me

ABOUT ME

I think life is an adventure. I still have a little child in me, at times I get a little goofy. I have this great passion to see and learn more. I want to see and try everything. I love to meet new people and experience different cultures. I'm all about music. I think the one of the best feelings is like Hendrix described it: "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

PHILOSOPHY

No day but today.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Long story short I became a part of CS while I was traveling around the USA. I lived in Chicago for 4 months and my first CS experience was in San Francisco. It was exciting and new, but totally worth it and I got hooked to this site!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flied the first time in my life "alone" when I was 10-year-old. I just went to see my aunt to Stockholm, Sweden. :D I think that is something..

Learn... I'm willing to learn everything! I would like to learn to play quitar and saxofone. Haha and I want to learn to play fifa!

Share... I can share good music and company. Let me buy you a beer and lets just chill and talk about everything or nothing at all - what works for you.
