I love creativity and all the lovely things I find in people I meet. People like you.

I’ve among other things been in an improve group (improvisation theatre) and that is probably one of the most fun things one can do!

On my LinkedIn-page it says that I “help ideas to dance” and that pretty much sums my work up haha. This is everything from design to words.

I'm a speaker and lecturer in ”participatory culture”, which is what we do here on Couchsurfing - we participate together. The last year I’ve been working for the municipality of Gothenburg in Sweden to help them with participatory culture in their sustainability work.

Another example of participating together is when we sit shoulder to shoulder in vehicles. In 2007 I founded the non-profit ridesharing movement Skjutsgruppen, a movement that now gathers 70 000 participants. In 2016 I moved out to a cabin in the Swedish woods to help the movement get an app that we can use. For this work I 2018 received an award that you can see on one of my photos. Feel free to check the app out, it’s in English and works everywhere in the world. Search for “Skjutsgruppen” in Google Play or App Store.

I’ve started to run more and more and now when I’m travelling around Europe I’m bringing my running clothes! Do you have any suggestion of good running spots in your area?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One summer I took a walk in the woods of Northern Sweden (I love to hike and walk) and this particular time I got lost. And getting lost is sometimes a great start, cause I did the most amazing experience face to face with a moose.
