CURRENT MISSION

staying in Tokyo during the autumn to paint 100 views of a Swedish island..

ABOUT ME

Well, I´m an illustrator, a nurse and a pianist. I also like insects. I used to like them more, but then a big "Ergates faber" bit my finger and just didn´t let go until some skin fell of and bleeding started. So now I´m actually rather afraid of insects. I also have a mustache. Furthermore I also play the accordion.
I live together with my girlfriend, she´s a biologist and painter. Her mother is russian and her grandfather is ukrainian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a few times.
Been woofing on farms, in poland, hungary, spain, india.
There are many people out there that are so friendly towards strangers.

Interests

I like music of oldschool videogames (megaman, donkey kong country, zelda, chrono trigger, earthbound etc).
I like to play that kind of music on my instruments. It´s more dynamic than it might sound. You can find almost any kind of music in the video game-music genre, like for example swing, wich I like. We occationally perform with those songs with a group called Bröderna Yx-Joe (https://soundcloud.com/broderna-yx-joe).

At tuesdays I play basketball with people who are amateurs, except for one man who is really good (I´m not talking about myself).
At wednesdays I play boardgames at my neighbour Fredians place. He has 109 different games. Amongst these I think I like Ticket to ride, Alhambra, Galaxy Trucker and Sushi Go the most.
