Overview
About Me
I'm a happy swede who likes to eat, sleep, and walk. I walk until I get lost and then I walk some more, so please don’t ask me what sights I’ve seen because I won’t know the names. Quit my job. Wanted to travel, so here I am. I havent booked a return ticket so we shall see when I return north.Maybe never. Kidding, at some point I need to see my mother otherwise she will kill me...
I think life should be lived like a 3 year old: wake up early, walk slowly, Notice everything you see, and question everything. Especially the system. But most importantly, children don’t discriminate. Be like children.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
well it’s the best way to meet new people and experience the real culture of a city.
If you leave your home, to experience something different, why live with other tourists? You need to find the locals, get to know them and their culture, be respectful and learn. Isnt that the whole point of travelling?

Music, Movies, and Books
Hmm, I think music wise it's sort of indie-ish, sometimes rock, my favourite artist is a Swedish singer but I’m not really good at listeninh to music and tbh, I usually just to listen to audio books or podcasts
I haven't seen my favourite film yet... Favourite book is either the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho or Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, but right now Im reading a book by Giulia Enders named “Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ“ its amazing. I can tell you about the microbiota!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Except for saving dragons and fighting princesses, I think the most spectacular thing I’ve experienced was the Aurora Borealis when I lived basically as north as you can go. Yes it was cold! Or maybe my “summer” hike in June, through a blizzard and 1.5m of snow... safe to say we didnt see another human being on that trail....
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you swedish, its super useful, but only if you travel within sweden, but you can't travel all around the country because people have weird dialects and they won't understand you. Other than that I can cook some good vegan food, or help you organise your cupboards
What I Can Share with Hosts
Bad jokes, maybe some good laughs, maybe life stories. Idk, the normal stuff
