Overview
About Me
I’m a Swedish guy living a nomadic life, currently exploring the UK! My dream is to travel lightly, move with the flow, and form genuine, meaningful connections with people everywhere I go.
I try to follow the principles of Relationship Anarchy, meaning I approach interactions with openness, non-judgment, and a belief that connections should evolve naturally, without fixed expectations. I value clear communication and respect for space.
I find that I am happiest and most balanced when I can experience a change of environment and engage in deep conversation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me, the host is the destination. I find every new person I meet fascinating, and I believe the best way to understand a place is through its locals and the connections I form. Couchsurfing is about meeting open, friendly, and kind-hearted people, qualities I deeply appreciate.
I travel with the expectation of adapting entirely to my host's routine, and I thrive on stimulating conversation and shared experiences.
Interests
I have a deep and varied curiosity.
Science and Psychology: I love diving into discussions about physics, the mind, and the fascinating interplay between the two. Understanding how the world and our minds work is a constant passion.
Language Learning: I'm dedicated to achieving fluency in French and practice daily. I would be thrilled to practice with any French speakers or people who love languages!
Minimalist Travel: I'm perfecting the art of travelling with only the essentials, allowing me to be spontaneous and adaptable.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I have a broad appreciation for different kinds of music. I wish I could sing better. Karaoke anyone!?
Books: I enjoy works by thoughtful and engaging authors like Douglas Adams and Christopher Hitchens.
Movies: watched a lot of movies in the past but not so much recently. Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarentino are among my favourite directiors. I enjoy all kinds of movies from Chalie Chaplin to The MCU. But the best ever movie made of all time (in my opinion) is Frozzen II
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Visitin friends and Couchsurfing through France (Nantes, Paris, Lille, Amiens, Angers, La Rochelle, Poitiers and Bazas), and what I remember most isn't the sights, but the sheer number of open and kind people I met. The way the connections felt instantly familiar and deep, walking the streets with new friends, sharing meals, and having deep philosophical chats is truly the most amazing thing about traveling.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm a calm, easygoing, and incredibly respectful guest. I can offer:
Deep Conversation: Ready for stimulating chats on physics, psychology, philosophy and travel.
Respectful Presence: I am a clean, quiet, and mindful guest who is happy to share a tidy space and is always aware of my host's need for privacy or quiet time.
Helpful Hand: Happy to help with tidying up, preparing a simple meal, or running errands.
