About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to whisper in the loud city and sing in the golden forest

ABOUT ME

I love forests! I live in the beautiful balance of crazy and calm. I believe in change, you are more powerful that you may think and every action is a big one. Starting small, we can make this place as beautiful as it can be. I believe that smiles and hugs are a great way to start a revolution.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for the love of .. life!
Cry and laugh, get it out!
When you feel the gray creeping up on you -- run -- out in the forest and sing your lungs out.
Just d.o.n.t e-v-e-r let the grayness win.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not yet had the pleasure to host anybody since my restless feet takes me travelling most of the time.. I have had fantastic times staying at peoples places, more or less amazing - they all made me experience things I would never otherwise, and grow as a person. And thats what's life is about. Bring it on!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at Eric Morrisette's place in Montreal on a hitchhiking trip to Halifax. Two days later he moved to Gothenburg, Sweden, 4 months later we lived in the same city sharing a year of awesome experiences. (For example his first Swedish Midsummer!) Thank you Couchsurfing for bringing us together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

.Hitchiking through Canada one beautiful summer.

.Tenting on the edge of a cliff with nothing but a view of the Hardanger fjord in Norway.

.The sunset over the city of Toronto seen from a boat on the Ward island.

.Simply walking, singing, smiling, dancing on the street, graveyard and forest in my neigbourhood in Gamlestan.
