About Me

Im a positive happy guy always open for an adventure, walks and exploring! But I like relaxing evenings just as much though

Im on a mission to live life to the fullest. After travelling for 1.5 years I've spend 2 years at home. Now I'm sure that life in one place is not meant for me.

"If you think adventure is dangerous. Try routine, it is lethal"

I like open people, people with a opinion, people that say what they think. Life is to short to keep things on your shoulders! I like real talks. Talks about the mind, the universe, aliens, counsciousness, the meaning of life, peoples deepest fears and the things that drive people to get up and out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet new incredible people. I'm here because every one here is here for that same reason. Which makes it a world wide community with one common goal, to connect =)

Music, Movies, and Books

Oeh most favorite movie will definately be the remake of Alice in Wonderland! Just because life is normal enough as it is, so a little bit of imagination and magic won't hurt anyone.
And i love Clive Cussler books, in my opinion the best adventure writer around! Or psychology books, because the human mind is very interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave home, and explore the world!! No way I can pick one thing.. Ive dived the most beautiful tropical waters, stood eye to eye with wild dogs on the biggest sand island in the world. Jumped out of a plane, sandboarded in the desert, climbed a steep rockwall in the jungle, up to a hidden lagoon. Slept under a million stars, rode in the back of a dozen pickups while hitchhiking and roadtripped Scotland with my mom.
I had times where i lived with money to spare and times where i couldnt even afford an egg to liven up my instant noodles. Ive slept anywhere from hostels, to boats, to couches to beautiful private beach bungalows. And all of em had their charm.

Teach, Learn, Share

Never stop wondering,
Never stop wandering!

What I Can Share with Hosts

So yeah, if you have made it this far, it is probably time to tell you that im not a good cook. I am, though good in a couple of recipes and I am more than happy to provide a nice meal =) I can teach you how to spin with flowtoys and I like sharing good stories, ways of life and philosophies. And music! Im afraid I can't play any instrument other than a triangle and my singing is like a chainsaw trying to get through a piece of metal. But, music does bring people together so if you like listening to nice tunes, or when you need someone to listen to your musical skills I am more than happy to be your guy!
