I am Jacob, born in Stockholm 1992. For the last 4 years I've been studying economics and German at Uppsala University.

I enjoy an active lifestyle with a lot of sports in my daily life, currently my focus is obstacle course racing, volleyball and rock climbing . I also do a lot of cooking, mainly vegetarian food but I am an omnivore. My evenings are usually spent watching movies/TV series or playing computer games with my friends.

I like discussing with people from other backgrounds and cultures. Anything goes - politics, religion, art, ethics, movies, personal stuff or just the weather :)

I party once in a while but seldom get drunk and I don't do any drugs or smoke. I don't mind other smoking weed, I just won't do it myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, especially locals of the places I am travelling to.

Interests

Rock climbing, skiing, volleyball, obstacle course racing, hiking, cooking, movies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read sci-fi, history and fantasy. Favorite authors are ones like Conn Iggulden or Tolkien. Love book swapping as I finish reading the books I have with me.

My taste in movies is very similar, I love science fiction and fantasy but also scary movies, thrillers and action. Will watch most things but the ones I rewatch are movies from Peter Jackson (Lotr), Tarantino, Guy Richie, Christopher Nolan and Stanley Kubrick.
Some favorties:
Interstellar
The dark knight
Intouchables
Guardians of the galaxy
Lock, stock and two smoking barrels
Meru

I listen to almost any type of music but mostly older rock and metal. Favorites bands are RHCP, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Queen and Simon & Garfunkel. Also love classical music and play a bit of piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to a cross border market on an island in the river between Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Also fell asleep under the stars while camping in Nee Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak swedish, cook swedish food and about my culture.
I would love to learn more about you, your culture, interests and the food you eat. I'm also keen on sharing my knowledge on any of the sports and activities listed above and I'd love to make that list longer by learning about the sports and active things that you do.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Very easy conversation but also very open. I have no problems talking about personal, existential or controversial subjects. I can also cook food decently.
