About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get more out of life!

ABOUT ME

What I think my best friends would say:
Chris is honest, kind and quite down to earth when he is not over analyzing. :)

I grew up in a small village by a lake in the woods of Sweden. Travelled a lot as a child. Have a hippie mother from England.

Moved up north to study in Skellefteå, freelanced a little bit (web), then moved to Stockholm for a jobb.

Volyntaryist, pescetarian since 2001.

PHILOSOPHY

Trust in mans general unwillingness to harm others.
Increasingly lately: life is short!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently sharing a flat in inner-city Stockholm. Hope to get my own place soon so I can host again sometimes.
I've taken main responsibility for hosting 3 couchsurfers at the previous flat, and co-hosted & visited 10+ throughout the years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted 3.5 Belgian guys together with my then girlfriend in January 2010. It was great! We surfed their places in Belgium 4 months later and it was equally magical. Two of them came back to Sweden a second time.
Been to and co-hosted some couchsurfing-related parties and picknicks.
