About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy myself for the summer and figure out what to doto get serious in the fall

ABOUT ME

Open and easy going, I am always eager to get to know people and hear about their situation and how they do in life. I prefer open communication, cards on the table. I try to be as diplomatic as possible and listen to what people have to say, but can sometimes have a hard time with people who don't speak their mind and who lack perspective on themselves and their situation.

PHILOSOPHY

Somewhat undecided on the matter

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and find getting to know people from other countries being a self-serving purpose. My couch and matress is always available, whenever I am home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not more than the experience I have from playing in bands for over six years, sleeping on more or less comfortable couches/matresses/floors at different peoples houses/youth projects/rehearsal spaces etc

Interests

I spend a lot of time with friends, hanging out, playing music, going to clubs and parties etc. I am also interested in literature, prose as well as specialist literature. I haven't quite figured out what I want to study and major in at University College, so I read a lot of different stuff. As of now, mostly cultural publications about aesthetic theory and some.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: folk rock (the band, bruce springsteen, neil young etc); post punk/goth (the cure, joy division, nick cave, a lot of swedish 80's new wave-stuff); contemporary indie (modest mouse, arcade fire etc)

Movies: actually, not really anything in particular. I like good movies such as made by Cronenberg, Godard, Bergman, etc, but I wouldn't consider myself to be an enthusiast. Lately, I think I've been more into theater.. Last movie I saw and was really touched by was Bertolucci's '1900' and before that I think it was 'Das Leben der Anderen'.

Books: Been reading a lot by Paul Auster lately (cliché..) and apart from that some swedish contemporaries.
