About Me

I'm spending half the time in Gothenburg and half in Stockholm. I'm a bit less likely to be able to host, but if your request is good I might even decide my schedule based on it! If your request feels like a copy paste it's more likely the reply is copy paste.

I have been on Couchsurfing for a very long time and when I was the most active I hosted 100 people in one year. I've also had some of my best travel experiences ever and made some friends for life through couchsurfing.

My Stockholm apartment is perfect for hosting but I never host just for the sake of it, i really like meeting new people and connecting so please write in your request why you think we would get along. :)

CURRENT MISSION
Build a digital marketing agency
Build a Youtube channel that i can live off of.
DJ and Dance Lindy hop and Balboa around the world

I have a camper van so when I have free time and not dancing I love going with the camper van on different trips mostly in Sweden.

Sometimes I do projects that get a bit of attention. Volcanohelp.eu was written about in some 200 newspapers around the world.

Another project I worked with was an electric scooter tour. 2200 km through Sweden to inform about what's going on with our climate... I did the web stuff for the tour. Really nice way of getting to see this beautiful country, and meeting a lot of interesting people!

I've spent a lot of time climbing but my major interest since november 2012 is Swing Dancing - Lindy hop and Balboa.

I DJ at many international Swing events - one of the best ways to get to see the world. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Top movies: Back to the future series. Romantic dramas - can't help but loving them...
Top music:
My taste in music evolved a lot over the years so I truly enjoy a bunch of different Genres but the last 8 years or so Jazz has been the foundation of my music interest, which goes hand in hand with my interest in Lindy Hop and Balboa. Before that era I was very into music festivals and spent a lot of time going to gigs.
