About Me

Traffic engineer. And now for the fun part.

Love the outdoors and to push myself in different personal challenges. Once walked from my current town to my hometown (115km) without stopping. Met a bear. That hurt, not the bear but the walk.

Feel very humble and lucky to be born in a space and time where travelling is almost limitless. The world is a world of wonderful possibilites and it's our duty to explore. I try to make the most out of this opportunity and travel as much as possible during spare time.

Have a twin sister and younger older-looking brother.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've just participated through surfing, but I'll be happy to host at any time in Norrköping. Have a flat by myself close to the uni.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a couple of couches in Australia and NZ while traveling with my friend Joel in 2012. They have all been unique and very interesting meetings.

Surfed another couch in Istanbul in March 2014, ran in to a girl from the community on the plane over from Tel Aviv. She felt pity for the guy who had his luggage left in Israel (me) and invited me to stay for a couple of nights. A great experience and a gesture that really shows the open doors-atmosphere of CS.

A year ago I went through the imdb top 250-list.

Stalker, Come and see, Grave of the fireflies, Before sunrise/sunset/midnight and Happiness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completing a 100 mile stagerace in Himalaya.
I ran the race, leaving home 1 month before, taking the landroad from Sweden to the Himalaya. 5 days prior to the race I was totally fucked up with altitude sickness in Tibet. Finished second, but doesn't mean a thing. The pain, the scenery, the yaks - An experience I will never forget.

"Hitchhiking" on a horse in the Kyrgyz mountains.

Encountered a wedding celebration in Jordan while hitchhiking. Stayed up all night and danced with locals.
