About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working and saving money for my next big trip!

ABOUT ME

Other than a interrailing trip and some adventures in northern sweden my first big adventure was a 11 month long journey from Sweden to Bangkok on a bicycle. A trip of a lifetime that made me realise the importance of communication and social interaction betwen humans.

People I met during my trip and in my daily life often tell me that I seem very passionate and happy, a way of life that I hope to keep till my last breath. I love to do crazy as well as totaly normal things as long as it stimulates me.

I hope that I can offer other travellers and globetrotters memories, laughs and good times to remeber when you come home.

I live together with my best friend that Ive known since I was small and we are all very easy people to hang out with.

PHILOSOPHY

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail"

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use couchsurfing not as a way to live cheap but a way to meet people and let them introduce me to their cities, thoughts and ideas and give the same thing back.

Music, Movies, and Books

Many, but I really enjoy reading books during travel. It focuses my mind. I spent a whole night reading "The time travelers wife" in a tent somewhere after the Thai-Lao border. I'm not a very big music fan but love documentaries.
