I´m married and I have two grown up daughters. I´m 67 years old and I´m now retired, but I´m busy arringing musical events, engaging in associations for sustainable society, maintaining my summer house, paddling my kayak and so on. My wife is ill, she can´t work. Because of her illness it´s hard for us to have guests sleeping in our home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I very much like the idea of sharing things, and to share other people´s thoughts, especially people who think otherwise than I do myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

World music (Amadou & Maryam, Tarabband...) African music (Cheikh Lo, Fela Kuti...) Arabic pop (Nancy Ajram, Rachid Taha...) Classical music (Handel, Satie... ) Jazz (Coleman Hawkins, Thelonius Monk...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited a place where capitalism seemed to have disappeared. It was a bakery shop and we were allowed to take as much bread and cookies as we wanted. It was like beeing in another world.
(A social event "Tillsammansveckan in Frölunda" was sponsored by some food stores and I was helping people who arranged it to transport things in my car).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to talk about almost anything (except maybe sport; I don´t understand the importance of winning games). Most of all I´m intrested in a sustaiable world, how to get there and what other people think about that.
