About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get to know as many humans and aliens as inhumanly possible

ABOUT ME

I was born in the swedish town know as Lilla Paris
I snore alot.
I try to make small and silly movies
mario has no fear because he has a lot of beer
I'm a tall boy with long hair and I have a habit of impersonating vikings, as I steal, plunder and pillage all I can lay my eyes upon. it's true
I'm trying to get a beer belly so I can rest a drink on my belly as I walk through the night
I have 8 fingers, 2 oponible thumbs and 10 toes, at least I had that number the last time i checked (by checking I mean nail-cutting)
chaos is my muse
also I love Led Zeppelin

PS. I try to put a bit of humour, be it dark, translucid or plain light, on my profile. hope this doesn't scare off potential couches........

PHILOSOPHY

"carpe diem" which means seize the carp (fish) if you didn't know

fakt 1034 "life is like a cigarette. smoke it to the butt", much like that roman poet Horace's mumbojumbo that I learned from the Dead Poets Society movie

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't know (squeaky voice), I have no couchsurfing experience

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet
will be doing an inter-rail through europe starting the 10th of August with my good friend Gonçalo
I have a little bit of crowdsurfing experience, if it counts, but the crowds usually tend to spread out when they see me soaring through the air and then I gently glide to the soft floor of different clubs

Interests

cinema, beer, forests. basically a drive-in theatre and an unlimited supply of beer is not a worst case scenario if I'm lost in the middle of a forest, at night time of course

cinema, Processing, LSDJ, photography, garbage treasure hunting, silly dances, dreaming

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hiking through Serra da Estrela (Mainland Portugal's highest peak) this February with three good friends, wearing only our underwear and shirts and then celebrating at the mountain top with a cigar. apart from that I haven't done anything amazing recently, but I have a couple of years dedicated to them in my schedule

Teach, Learn, Share

I haven't got any special or magical skills, but I can show you how not to cook soy. if you are a soy expert please pass me your knowledge, because I am a happy viking grasshopper.
I can teach you one song on a guitar, it's called "my dog has fleas". it's as sad as it 's called
I can also teach the single best word in the world. It suffices to say that the word is in swedish

Countries I’ve Visited

Cabo Verde, Cuba, Denmark, France, Malta, Spain, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In

Portugal, Sweden
