Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Becoming an adventurer and a mad scientist, at the same time
ABOUT ME
I want to learn, understand and experience everything! As long as there's something going on I'm in a happy, hakuna matata state. Especially if there's something new happening.
I'm laid-back and easygoing, with great ambitions for the future. Ambitions whose realization might not be entirely realistic. But I'm sure a solution will present itself, always does!
PHILOSOPHY
Change is the fuel of life, without it things would get rather boring.
And..
Don't take things too seriously, they probably aren't.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Spreading the word to any potential travelers and couchsurfers. Got like 5 recruits so far. Once I have a home(hopefully by the spring of 2011), I'm gonna get the bestest couch ever!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've spent half a Eurotrip surfing couches from Bulgaria to France. Then enjoyed many couches in the US.
Interests
Seeing new places
Meeting new people
Enjoying the company of friends, old or new
Most sorts of competitions
Doing sports. Watching, not so much.
Games, any games, love 'em!
Learning, anything
Philosophizing
Struggling with my harmonica
Hiking
Drinking
Being slightly hungover, spending the day completely free of ambition watching movies.
Heated arguments, when people care about what's being said.

Music, Movies, and Books
Odd things, anything that is not too similar to what I've read or watched before.
Movies: Zombieland, Watchmen, True Romance, Office Space, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, Princess Bride, Boondock Saints, Starship Troopers, Mongol
Music: The Knife, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Pink Floyd, Charta 77, Mumford and Sons, MGMT, and random songs from random artists, most of which I lost along with my Ipod back in 'Nam.
Anything by Steinbeck is very suitable for traveling
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
While traveling, I assembled my birthday party using nothing but Couchsurfing!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you to say things in Swedish! And the very very basics of harmonica playing, I'm currently struggling with learning the instrument myself and I always have one with me. I've recently read a year's worth of philosophy so I'm sure I can give some cryptic answers to the big questions in life.
