About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To master arabic(!)

ABOUT ME

Well, most of all I am just a guy who enjoys peace and good company. Like the hobbits I guess. But, this isn´t really a peaceful world so in order to get there I try to take my share of responsibility. And honestly, believing that I am a part in the change for a better world also gives me quite a bit of satisfaction and purpose to life =)

PHILOSOPHY

I didn´t really choose to be born (as far as I can remember at least..), but I do choose to live even though it´s hard to know exactly how to do it as good as possible sometimes. It gives me a little bit of performance/achievement anxiety to think about the limited time given to us here on earth, but somehow I also believe that is a reason to be humble and that it can also be source for experiencing life quality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined and will be going to Syria soon, so I guess my participation so far is mainly picking the raisins from the cookie as we say in Sweden =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, yet.

Interests

Hmm.. I like singing and playing music. I listen to some mixture of rock, singer-songwriter, soul and nordic folk music. When I play it´s mostly singer-songwriter and folk.. I also really like playing badminton and dancing, either nordic folk dance or disco beats =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined a youth/culture exchange program for half a month a couple of years ago, even though I was really scared of what it would be like. And, of course, it changed my life =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit about the swedish welfare system and politics, and I can teach you how to make swedish pancakes =)

You don´t happen to speak Arabic?
