Overview
About Me
My name is Richard Nachtweij. I'm a social, open minded and happy 24 year old student from Linköping, Sweden. I've studied energy and environmental engineering for four years and have one more year before I get my master's degree. I took a gap year from my studies after three years to travel the world as a backpacker. Went to Australia, New Zealand and the USA so still got a lot of beautiful places to discover.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm here because I love meeting new people from different cultures. I think people are interesting and love listening to the stories of people that are travelling. If you are just a neighbour from Sweden or a person from the other side of the planet doesn't matter. I also met so many people when I was travelling who welcomed me everywhere I came. This is a chance to return that favour to all you people.
Interests
First of all I am a music lover. I play guitar, piano, drums and bass and have my own soloproject "Atlan Wey" on Spotify and Itunes. (give it a listen) I lived as a musician in Australia by busking on the streets. I also love travelling, and meeting new people from different cultures. I'm also a big fan of sports. Been practicing judo for 16 years and got a black belt. Love rock climbing, hiking, diving and workout as well.
