About Me

Me? Alright.

I'm a researcher, a developer, a consultant, a circus artist(?!), a traveller, an event organizer, an ex-martial artist, and I'm currently practicing my horrible handstand.

I honestly can't say what you're expecting to read here, so have a couple of highlights!

Back in 2014 I sold my car, and I'm now 100% an electric unicycler instead, since it's much more interesting than the alternative. I stand on this thing whether I'm heading to work, shopping, juggling, in an expensive china shop, or hauling luggage! Best thing ever!

In september 2015 I leave work and home behind, then I'll be globetrotting until I get bored of it. During that time I'm hoping I can meet up with a ton of interesting people and explore every edge of the world!

My favourite place? About five meters up, hanging from a circus rope, and looking down! ...Or perhaps surrounded by flaming fire juggling equipment?

What else, what else...?! Oh yes! I'm the main organizer for a Swedish anime convention called Kodachicon, and I'll be organizing an event for a thousand-or-so people whilst on the move this time! Last year we had everything from folk musicians to gaming tournaments, and I'm hoping I'll find someone interesting whilst on the move that can join up with us this year to create an even better event!

I haven't tried skydiving yet, but if you have a plane and a parachute I'd totally join up for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simple! I created my account years ago, then promptly forgot about it.

Now? Now I've decided that living a regular life is not for me, so I'll be solo-globetrotting during much of 2016 instead, and thought that perrrr-haps, with a slight touch of luck, there's places I can stay wherever I happen to end up!

Interests

Several years back, I would have said martial arts and 3D programming. Nowadays, aerial acrobatics, events, and juggling is more my thing!
I've done some fire juggling with various equipment, and

  • arts
  • shopping
  • anime
  • juggling
  • folk music
  • skydiving
  • martial arts

Music, Movies, and Books

I read so much Manga, listen to so much Spotify, and watch so much Netflix that I don't really keep track of these things anymore. I love everything from folk music to Drum n' Bass, and watching movies is the best as long as you're two and find something to complain about in the story!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wouldn't mind showing some fire juggling during the evenings!

Countries I’ve Lived In
