About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Travel as much as a can and try not to die in the "Work-a-lot" disease ;)

ABOUT ME
I'm a nice guy who lives alone in a "big" 33 sqm apartment in central Stockholm (you will feel at home in a sec.).
I like dark chocolate, nuts and cheese.
I like to help people, I see myself as a kind warm person (maybe it's just in my head.. Haha!).
Trying to live a healthy life, both in nutrition and in sports. I'm also trying to be that guy that's lives its life as if each day was his last.

WHY DO I DO THIS?
I'm doing this because it's so fun to meet new people from all around the world and I also like to help people in there quest for the perfekt adventure. I want people to come home an say to there friends and family: "I ABSOLUTLY LOVE STHLM, It's a beautiful place and the people is sooo nice! I wanna go back!", I wanna be a part of your great experience.

WHAT DO I DO?
Im working as a teacher for 8 year old kids with hearing disabilities, it's a lot of work and a lot of fun. Im also working as a crossfit instruktur at a crossfit place here in sthlm. So if u wanna sweat while you'r here, i'm your man :)
I do fireshows and dress up as a pirate at kids birthday partys. It's a crazy mix of jobs I know. Haha!

PHILOSOPHY
Be positive, laugh a lot, help your neighbour, smile and say "Hi" to people you don't know, give compliments to people that rarely gets it. See the glass half full instead of half empty.

"Be the change that you want to see in the world"
