Hello there!
This is Simon.
Student of Development studies at Lund University. I´m happy, full of energy, like to climb, go to the cinema and a whole lot of other things. I will be living in Groningen for 5 months, doing an erasmus semester and who knows, maybe I will go around a bit in The Netherlands and then I would like some surfers to guide me around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a very good way to travel. Seeing everything from local eyes, inside information on what and what not to do, maybe some hidden places we would never find if not for our fantastic and beautiful host - yes I believe in humanity. Except when it fucks up our planet and doesn´t treat everybody as equals.

Interests

I like lots of things. And since that´s a very boring statement to give I might just tell you what I like. Then maybe I have a better chance of being able to host you and vise versa.

My newly found passion is climbing. I love using my body, moving up the wall and feeling that you get better everytime you try. Running has been something of a passion of mine for a while. I like to be outside surrounded by nature, on a lake, on the mountain, but I also love cities very much, I think they are interesting and can tell you whole lot about us and how we organize.
Movies. I love movies. And Photography is the best. How else can you remember things? And most of all you can remember things like you want them to be remembered, perhaps that´s worth something. Analog at the moment, so much fun and shooting film has thought me so much. And Iphone, the quality of that is just, mm.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are great. And I can give you a huge list of great films. Best movies last year. Arrival, The Girl with All the gifts, Home, Mustang.
I like alternative films or foreign films such as Wild Tales or Victoria. There´s an alternative movie theatre here in malmö called Panora, It´s just great, I go there once a week maybe.
I like books, but honestly, these days when studying. I Really don´t read fiction. Course litteratur is the only food I get.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So I did the Kalalau Trail. And this is one of the greatest things I´ve done. But it´s also my greatest regret - We did not do the whole thing. WHY!?
Not enough time is the true answer, but we should have just run it to make it.
Well. Still. Walking on a red dirt path. With the bluest infinite ocean on your right and green forest on your left. Surreal.
Walking 7 hours to then end up in a majestic waterfall and skinnydipp like you have no cares what so ever. To then sleep in the jungle look up to the sky that now is covered with stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me your language. Tell a little bit about your culture perhaps, what is it that you study, work or think most about, tell me about that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I´ll share some of my energy, I´ll take you rope climbing, we can go running together, watch good movies etc
