Overview
About Me
Aloha!
Welcome to the real Sweden! I'm james, a family guy who has moved up north, where we have a house in the true beauty of Sweden. You are welcome to stay with us as long as we have the time and room. Please read my guidelines.
---------------------------------------------
Guidelines:
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.
2) Please share with me why you are coming to Sweden
3) Please acknowledge that you have read my profile, house rules, and roommate situation and you have no problem with following our rules

Teach, Learn, Share
i used to (and maybe can still) teach: chess, survival skills, CouchSurfing skills, real estate investing, scavenging, and being one with nature.
i am very interested to learn about plants and animals and picking mushrooms. i would also like to learn swedish folk dances.
