I like to travel and to meet people. I have travelled a lot and I have friends in many countries. I'm open minded, politically involved (left liberal), and I have been a vegetarian for more than 25 years.

Please read my profile before sending me a request. We host preferably during weekends so that we can enjoy the company of guests and do things together, but you are welcome to visit us during the week as well.

We have hosted 774 persons (November 2023) since we joined in 2007. April 1st 2008 I was interviewed about Couchsurfing in Aftonbladet (the main newspaper in Sweden): www.aftonbladet.se/resa/article11933798.ab

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to participate the best way I can. Hosting and surfing. Organizing events in Stockholm. Having fun together with all nice Couchsurfers I meet! I have had a really good time hosting many travellers in Stockholm.

Interests

Friends. I spend a lot of time together with my friends - playing board games, watching movies, having dinners...

Travels. To travel is one of my favourite interests. I have been to more than 100 countries and I like meeting new people.

Politics. I try to make the world a better place - it's almost a full time job. :-)

History. I have always been interested in old times - and I like going to museums.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To hike in the Grand Canyon was great. The same counts for seeing the pyramids in Egypt and the Maya cities in Central America. I enjoyed scuba diving among dolphins in the Red Sea and meeting the mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very much involved in politics and can tell you a lot about how things work in Sweden.

I like to spend time together with my hosts, and get to know their way of living.
