current mission
exploring south India on bicycle, also exploring the limits of the rather bicycle I’m riding on , Jan-April 2020
ABOUT ME
All of a sudden 40 years past , I’ve been so busy writing songs , painting watercolour, building houses, singing, getting lost on my bicycle and wearing strange clothes so I didn’t see the time fly .
Good thing is I still seem to be curious and hungry to understand the world.
But the mysteries just get deeper the more I dig . I just changed my 10 years old profile text on C.s and noticed some things changed but some still remain .
Since then I’ve started writing songs , it took me 20 years to get started but now all those songs can’t wait to come out , my imagination also got more absurd lately , and my desire to cycle round the world got stronger . I still feel strongly drawn to India
I live in a small village/ alternative/culture community in the countryside in southern Sweden , it’s like extended hippie festival mixed with post apocalyptic art project according to some visitors , come and see for your self ,

PHILOSOPHY
People are complex
Life even more so
But it’s a true blessing we’re here
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
most of my surfing has been done in India and while cykling through the country
I first surfed in Bangalore in 2009 and then in chennai, Bombay, Baroda, Kochi, Mysore and other places.
its all been all from Great to intresting.
I have met one of my very best friends through this forum.
I have hosted about 4 times in Sweden, but look forward to do it more... i live in a very small place though , so most people dont pass through here..
