About Me

Hi there! I am an easygoing and calm person with a sence of humour and with a big warm heart but most of all I am a really humble and caring person. Travelling is one of my most and biggest interests and I like also very much again together with some very nice and old friends we are playing in a band again. I like spending a lot of free time at my summerhouse in the archiepelago of St. Anna and Gryt of the eastcoast in southeastern part of Sweden. There we have the many islands outside the coastline, in fact there is more than 150 000 islands only in that small part! I like to hang out with friends most of all with travelling friends. I love to be in Sweden for the summerseason 6 months and during the winter I prefer to survive the darkness and coldness somewhere in the tropical world by travelling there overland. My 30 years experience of overlandtravelling is most of the time done by a motorbike, small very old car, jeep, buses, train or hitchhiking down south. This is best I have done sofar in my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Very nice to meet new friendly and openminded people who can host and show me around the town inna new country. To stay with them all in their own houses and homes in the places I am going to. Can it be better than this to be shown around and to meet very kind and gentle persons! So I can do the same when people is coming over to me and my expensive country so they can stay for free when they are probably like me travelling on a very low budget like 5-10 EU or Swizzfranc per day and so on!

What I Can Share with Hosts

33 years of longtime travelling around the globe. There is some of my experience I can try to give to some new guys for their coming trips and so on for the future. After longtime travelling you become very calm, humble, understanding and helpful afterwards. There is not so many trouble anymore worth speaking to much about back at home.
