About Me

CURRENT MISSION

What you see is all there is

ABOUT ME

We live in an old church in Malmö and I work in the IT-business. Because of my work I also have a flat in Stockholm. I commute to Stockholm on a weekly basis. We have two kids and my girlfriend also commutes to Stockholm on the weeks, so we have an au-pair living with us. Hence, it is uncommon that we accept couchsurfers, but we try to do our best!

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a mystery. We should never stop asking but we should never expect to know the answer. There is nothing more powerful than a person who is prepared to live right now, in this instant, fully accepting that this may be the last moment on earth. Life is not a linear fixed thing. Life expands as we live it and as such it is the primary tool on my journey. These things is my guidance in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Even though we come from different parts of the world, different upbringing, different religion, different educations and different climate we still have so much in common. To learn more about a country, city and culture you have to be close to people, why not start out on someones couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I only had people at my place, and couchsurfing really increase my confidence for humanity. Long breakfasts and early beers in the courtyard of my house with interesting discussions and different points of views is very inspiring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share some of the pearls that I’ve been fortunate enough to accumulate. Now keep in mind that oysters don’t open easily and every one of those gaudy baubles started off as a grain of sand.
