About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To walk through streets and pubs. Also I want to stand on a mountain-top and yell something very epic

ABOUT ME

I'm a very here-and-there kind of person, and I have very itchy feet, combined with the sitting around kind of relaxedness. I want to travel and see wonderful things I can probably see on the starebox but it just wouldn't be the same. I'm happy to meet any kind of person/people as they all fascinate me and contribute to the whole experience of travelling. I have a goal to try a new beer and join a loud kind of party where-ever I go. A beer would immediately put a smile on my face anytime!

PHILOSOPHY

One should want to evolve, to learn from the world and the people there,

and have the kinds of fun one only gets from the unexpected

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to convince people to try couchsurfing and skipping their hotels once in a while, and inspire them to see the world that one only gets from giving and sharing this way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a German and a Catalonian lady, which was my first hosting, and it was great. You know something is pure good-stuff when two complete strangers show up at your door and you end up at the pub laughing and exchanging opinions on different royal families.
I will have to that again.

Interests

I like to play drums of different kinds, do music a lot and take a fair share of interest in African news, politics and so on.
I love travelling, woods and mountains,
and at the end of a day containing preferably all three,
a beer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kilimanjaro was very nearly climbed all the way, but because of a friend's condition we had to carry her down again - It all went well and it was a very challenging experience, but all in all, one I remember vividly for it's awesomeness.

Sailed and fished in the Indian ocean with muslim, catholic and protestant fishermen - on a catamaran.
