About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To infect my passion for life to others. To share, care and dare to live life without limitations.

ABOUT ME

After diving into the ocean of Bliss called life and through amazing discoveries about something close to a feeling of what I am, I'm slowly starting to realize that I'm only scratching on the surface of understanding everything I am and everything I could be. That understanding isn't something I expect to reach but this feeling of Awe is something I use to paint my daily life to the most incredible journey. This journey is something I value very much and it is a great honor to share it with all you wonderful beings!

PHILOSOPHY

I always used to think that I'm in the between, between my old life and what is yet to come. But I'm starting to realize that this is who I want to be. This is me, now. With no limits or borders, with the youthfully excitement and hunger for life, with the gift to choose what to believe in, what to strive for, together with the empathy for the individuals around you, then you become truly invincible.

The problem (or challenge?) today is that everyone isn't borned in the same conditions, where the struggle to survive demolish your possibilities to reach your dreams, where creativity isn't enough to rise, because of the interest of men borned in more advantegeous conditions. That is what need to be changed. Not through some political reforms that improve the statistics but through individual awareness and the courage to change and to live as if we existed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes my current lifestyle match an opportunity to participate in Couch-surfing. Now I'm entering the roads again but I hope I'll be able to host loads of wanderers the year of 2012!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the people I've met that's been involved with couchsurfing have been most interesting beings. To clash into "random" people drifting in the world is a great way to stir in the pot of humanity, to open your arms for strangers and maybe learn a bit about yourself on the way.

Interests

Bees is something I find interesting.. I suppose i could find most things interesting if I put it in the right context, except new cellphones, robotic conversations and sportcars. Or actually that could also be interesting phenomenas!

I should mention my passion for music, journeys, epiphanies, humans, dreams, forests, spontaneous crazy things noone have ever done before, climbing, hair, the complexity of the human body, seasons, fascinating stories, walkabouts, creative ideas of how to interface with nature, odd humor and eventually saving the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Three movies that touched me personally: "Into the wild", "Garden state" and "Mr. Nobody"

Music is the second half of my life and for me the proof that there is something more out there..

Books are a great source of inspiration and also wonderful worlds to be explored!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Listening to the whales singing while floating on the Great barrier reef and watching the unified black sky and sea with the stars reflecting in the ocean was quite amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I should be able to teach how to make sounds on a guitar. And to speak swedish. And how not to cook. Through personal experience I have lots of "how not to do"-skills.
I'd love to learn everything! Especially not usable phrases in other languages and how to be self-sufficient.
I believe in a mutualistic sharing of everything and I'm not a big fan of things, unless with personal value.
