Oh gee, where should one begin. Me in one sentence should sound somewhat like this (perferrably narrated by Morgan Freeman) "A restless soul on an endless journey toward an unknown goal, looking for adventures, fellowship and plain good 'ol fun along the way". I apologize for the cheesiness.

Anyway. I'm a 21-year-old traveler from Sweden longing to see the world, one bit at a time. When I'm not climbing some peaks, laying on a lonesome beach or people watching in a busy alley, I'm making a living working in a photography lab, developing analogue film, printing pictures and knocking canvas framework all day long. The rest of the day I'm either having a beer with some friends, hanging out with the same, or lying in the bathtub daydreaming about life in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I long to meet people. One could say that I'm a bit addicted to social stimulation, for good and for worse, and since I'm traveling Europe alone for the first time this summer I would love to meet someone who could tell me about his/hers favorite spots in the city over a coffee, beer or what not.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: I'm a huuuuge fan of Yann Tiersen, the french genius of a composer and since I play the piano myself he's an important inspiration for me. Otherwise, artists like The Knife, Elliphant, Beirut and Røyksopp are pretty awesome as well!

MOVIES: Please show me anything from Quentin Tarantino or Wes Andersen and I'll happy for hours!

BOOKS: I read far less than I want to, but The Book Thief; what a masterpiece!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The one time my friend and I ditched the group when they went bungyjumping in New Zeeland, and instead went on a slow-paced trip to Milford Sound. Oh my god, all the beauty in that place. I've been to quite a lot of stunning places in my days, but none have been as striking as Milford Sound. If you've been there I'm sure you'll agree with me.
