About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taste freedom

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice, friendly and creative guy. I work hard for my own webdesign company, which is going pretty well so it gives me the time and ability to travel! I've been on a few trips this year and I'm planning to travel from Stockholm to Venice in July this year. If anyone is up for having a fun time, grabbing some cocktails or drinking a glass of whiskey to talk about life and how we should enjoy it, I'm up for it!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
Connect to grow.
Stop worrying.
Explore boundaries.
Remove boundaries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couchsurfing, but I've got a very large comfy L-shaped sofa in my living room. Also, i've got a nice little sleeping mat!

Interests

For me, life is maximizing one's potential. We're all born with different gifts, I feel we're here to go and explore the possibilities. Forever expand our horizon, because whenever we talk towards it, a new horizon shows up.

In my free time, I love to read, watch movies and series, getting out for some sports, sitting outside in the evening. If i'm in the mood, i can party pretty good, get it going. I love games, play some poker.

Music, Movies, and Books

If you name a movie, I'm probably like "seen that already.." :)
If you play a song, i probably don't know the title :)
If you play old, black soul music, you're my hero :)
If you have literature about travel, life, love and pain, suggest it to me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skiing last winter. The last day of skiing, there was 50cm of fresh snow on the slopes, with about 20cm more being added every hour. I had so much fun, jumped, fell, lost a ski and found one, had snow up my clothes and there was a layer of water in my skiing glasses. Had a hard time saying goodbye.

Went to ibiza for a poker tournament, and we rented a car just to drive around the island. At around noon, we stopped at a small lunch place, ate a salad and drank a very very tasty Pina Colada. The view was beautiful. There was a small beach with people on it, a bright blue sky, white sand, beautiful water. We drove further and climbed on some cliffs, with similar views, drank some more cocktails. The nature was amazing. The day was perfect.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you see yourself in a year. Or five. And you image this is the same you, exactly the person you are, and add all the things you would wish for had already happened. And you feel that the only thing between that person and the person you are right know, is time. Just a bit of time. That it's essentially you, in another moment. If you believe that image.

Then the rest will come automaticly. Every decision will get you further. But it won't feel like working hard. It will feel like a trip. A nice one. Where you're never rushed. You're never late. Or behind on schedule. And one day, you'll just be there and look back. And see, that indeed, you are the same person. Just a bit further in time.
