ABOUT ME

I live in Bagarmossen in the south of Stockholm.
Sharing most of the time and space with my girlfriend Sara and our son Janne.
Im doing a lot of different stuff, but most of the time I play music. I play accordion, guitar, bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, flutes, percussion...well to many instruments.I play different kinds of traditional music from all over the world.
My girlfriend is also a musician, playing guitar in punkrock bands.

I´ve been travelling a lot, mostly in Europe and the united states. I like to explore new cultures, make new friends and drink the local beer.
Im not a big fan of chauvinism, nationalism and borders and I keep dreaming of a world free from all that.
If I have day off, I like drinking coffee, reading the newspapers all morning, hanging out with friends , reading books ,going to museums, listening to music and walking in the nature.
Im also a dedicated x-country skier so If you come here in the winter I can teach you some nordic skiing technique. I have skied the world famous Vasaloppet, 90 km long with over 15.000 participants.
