I'm 29 years old, and originally from Växjö, Sweden. Currently trying to get clean from a heavy travel addiction

I see myself as very outgoing and a guy that enjoys adventure and especially meeting new people from around the world.

I have an interest in photography, which goes hand in hand with my travels and my passion for trying new cuisine around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling the world is for me the best way to meet new people and to be able to live with some of those people for a day or two, there is simply no better way to experience a new culture then to stay with a local.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can promise you a good laugh and plenty of good stories from my travels around the world.

I consider myself a little bit speciell, not in a bad or strange way more in a intrestering way. There's nothing that scares me more then being like everyone else.

I mean, how hard is it to be like everyone else?
The real challenge is to be true to yourself and different.

We need more people that dare to go out from the norms. I consider myself being one of them.
