CURRENT MISSION

Jag reser genom Sverige och jag skulle vilja se så många städer som möjlig--från Malmö i söder till Umeå i norden. Jag lär mig svenska och jag skulle gärna öva det med riktiga svenskar. Jag skulle också vilja lära mig så mycket om svensk kultur som möjlig. Tack!

I am currently traveling through Sweden and I would like to see as many cities as possible and I would like to learn as much about the culture and language as possible.

ABOUT ME

Hello!/Hej!/Guten Tag!

My name is Justin and I am a 27 year-old American traveling through Europe. I am currently in Sweden because I find Sweden particularly interesting. I studied a little bit of the language and hope to practice it with whoever is willing to listen to me make mistakes. I would like to travel all over the country and would greatly appreciate anyone who would welcome me into their home. Thank you!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that every person has a special purpose and destiny on this planet, and I am currently trying to find out what mine is. I believe that, regardless of ethnicity or nationality, we are all citizens of the world and, therefore, we must all be open-minded to other ways of thinking so we can all grow to become more complete human beings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to Couchsurfing, so I have not yet participated. I hope to meet people who are willing to take me into their homes for a night or two and when I settle down permanently in the future, I would gladly welcome Couchsurfers into my home.

Interests

I like language, I like travel, and anything international really and I love learning anything new about world culture. I am also a big world football fan and could talk about that for hours.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Movies: The Shawshank Redemption and The Last Samurai.

Favorite Music: I like a lot of different kinds, but my favorite would have to be the electronic genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This--deciding to leave my family and friends to work and travel through Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, my parents own a Japanese restaurant in the United States and I spend much of the previous years working there as a sushi chef. For the past seven months, though, I worked on an organic winery in the southwest of Germany. If anyone wants to learn about either, let me know!
