About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience South america and Morroco, and learn improve my spanish and french.

ABOUT ME

I am a 31-yearold guy, a teacher, writer and student of literature and languages. I am also of course a traveler. I have been to many places and the more I experience the more I want to experience. But the personal contacts are the most important for me. I like culture as well as fun and party. I like people.

PHILOSOPHY

The end of all our exploring will be to return where we started - but see the place for the first time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted about two years ago and surfed in Marseille just a couple of weeks ago. They were both positive experiences. Have been going to quite a few meetings, especially in Barcelona.

Interests

I also (except the above) like music (both listen and also play a little guitar but not that serious), movies and reading, going out at night, meeting new people and learning languages. I know Swedish, english, spanish and some french.
