CURRENT MISSION

I enjoy travelling, as retiree I have small budget, but would rather invite my hosts to a resturant or some other social event for their kindness to host me. I travel alot in my sparetime and work parttime as an Authorized Guide in Stockholm/Sweden.

ABOUT ME

Hi all potential new friends...
People tend to look at me as a bit extrovert, social addict=I like being around people ;-))
I am divorced and have 2 grown-up kids and 2 grandchildren
I speak various languages and like travelling, sailing, the Stockholm Archipelago (that I'd appreciate to show you should I once host you...)
I took a few tourist groups on 3 weeks roundtrips to Southamerica last year and am taking groups to Portugal/Lisboa in April/May this year. I don't have a picture here yet, but should you decide to host me and appearance/surface is important, you can find me on facebook with pictures. I like pop music as well as folk music, rock, fado and flamenco. I spent time in March this year in Tunisia to learn some Arabic and got fond of their folk music. I worked many years for the airline SAS and still enjoy travel discounts, so I travel for work and for fun. I don't smoke or take any drugs, but appreciate a good wine. Looking forward to meeting you all!
Best regards Tomas
