About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to learn learn to do less and be more satisfied, right now Zen buddhism is the hot topic!

ABOUT ME

Humble, active, restless, philosophical, seeker, adventurer, adaptable

Works as a product marketing engineer at a software company in Jönköping, which means a bit of travelling and a bit of geeking.

Most of my time off is spent playing beach volleyball and exercising. I love sports. I also like outdoor life (when weather is good); fishing, hiking, bi-cycling. I enjoy a good movie or the latest episode of Game of thrones, californication or big bang theory...

I like good food and a couple of good beers.

PHILOSOPHY

Why does it work that way?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, was supposed to use couchsurfing during our bike trip i Mediterraneans and the Balkans this summer (2012june), but due to difficulties planning routes and finding wi-fi we went for appartments instead..

Interests

Beach volleyball, sports in general, adventures, an occasional beer and everyday life.
Human behaviour and psychology is also interesting. I don't know the theory - but I like discussions based on experience!
