PLEASE READ FIRST!!!!!
I only accept friend requests from people who i have met more than once and actually consider my friends.

As you can see, we love hosting people and we do so quite often. Unfortunately, we decline many of the couch requests we receive, because they do not follow these simple guidelines:

1) Everyone in your group needs profiles or you need to be sharing a profile that describes each person. Please include your group members profile links or make it easy to find them.
IF YOU EVER WRITE "me and my friend" without a cs profile link or a good explanation, YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY REJECTED!!!!

2) Please share with me why you are coming to Stockholm and why you have decided to send me a request over the other 300 active hosts in Stockholm

3) Please acknowledge that you have read my profile, house rules, and roommate situation and you have no problem with following our rules, (especially the part about leaving the apartment when i do very early in the morning.)

4) If you are flying to Stockholm, it is important to tell me which airport you are arriving at and at what time. If you are arriving by boat, i would like to know the name of the Cruise Line you are using and what time you will arrive at the port. If you are coming by train or car, what time you will arrive in Stockholm? i would also like to know when/how you will be leaving. If you are hitchhiking, what city/town/direction will you be coming from? These things are important because it helps both you and me to know how long it will take you to arrive here.

i am not a free hotel, and neither am i your mother. Otherwise, i am generally a nice person, though i tend to work too much.

PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT! I am the CS ambassador. I feel responsible for all the hosts in Sweden, so if you trouble any of them, you will no longer be welcome in this network.

CURRENT MISSION

i'm just trying to past the time, from birth to death, without hurting anyone.

ABOUT ME

just your typical carbon based life form, trying make sense out of my existence. Try to imagine a guy who has lived in Hawaii for all his life, who suddenly moved to Sweden and has lived here for the last 14 years...

i appreciate the simple things in life and appreciate the company of genuine people.
And yes, i have ZERO tolerance for those who would take advantage of other people.

PHILOSOPHY

Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours- Richard Bach
