Hey, I am a student from Sweden studying Philosophy, politics and economics abroad in the United Kingdom. I am a social guy who is always looking for the next adventure and cultural shock which I hope to get from Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet up with fellow travellers and hopefully get immersed in foreign cultures together in the country we meet, but also to discuss the culture of the person I meet up with. I believe it is a great way to learn more and understand the world but also to challenge my own perspective. I have in the recent past met up with several people from all over the world and I find it rewarding to talk about the similarities and dissimilarities between our countries and background.

Another reason I choose to use Couchsurfing is because I want to travel like a local since I fancy the well hidden gems which the locals go to more than any grand tourist attraction and that is not something one can find in a guidebook too easily. I usually travel alone as well and it is great to have a newfound friend to explore the travel destinations with.

Interests

I enjoy all types of sports but my best I ones are the racquet sports - that is where I shine. Am now playing mostly horse polo and tennis.

Another interest is philosophy, and I enjoy reading and discussing Nietzsche a lot, some would probably say too much.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I enjoy most kinds of music, except what is played on the radio due to repetitiveness, but if I shall choose then it would be classical and old school rap. I suppose that if I average those two I will be stuck with radio music anyway.

*Classical with Liszt being my favorite composer.
*G-Eazy
*Alt-J
*ABBA (for obvious reasons)
*Hopsin
*Zara Larsson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled 6 weeks in Asia with only one backpack weighing 6kg.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the useful language Swedish, and also share a lot of knowledge about Sweden and what our culture is like. I enjoy comparing foreign countries with my own to see the similarities and contrasts between the two. Can also teach tennis or talk about philosophy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of puns, facts about Sweden, knowledge that you don't need and philosophical discussions.
Most of all I want to share my time, I want to explore the city together and get the local experience; a few people even say that I am fun to hang out with!
