Ps. However, I'm also a big fat mythomaniac. Please be aware of that and understanding. Ds.
On a more serious note though,
Some general information:
I'm a 23 y/o guy from the capital of Sweden who moved one hour north 4 years ago to study law. As I've almost reached the end of my studies I've started to search for new experiences outside of the academic world and get some real life action. During the past 5 months I've lived in and traveled China and it has been life changing. My urge to travel hasn't disappeared and I want to learn more about you and wherever you're from!
I'm pretty laid back and down to earth, but
I have a wide range of interests and never really focused on just one thing. Generally I like sports in any kind and at home I swim and play golf. Going to the movies, a bar, concerts, gaming, pottery whatever is fine. I'm not picky and just like being around people sharing experiences together. There is something special about doing stuff together, forever being connected through having a common memory.
Of course, I like traveling and I've lived in the UK, US and China, part from Sweden.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite music varies a lot throughout the seasons, but generally speaking I like heavy beats, rhytmic and energizing. For the moment I listen to funk and Al Green.
10 years after its release I saw "Inglorious Basterds" and I was completely blown away, "I think this just might be my masterpiece" indeed. Not huge fan of Tarantinos latest movie though, prove me wrong!
To Kill a Mockingbird is a book hard to beat.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Many of my best memories are from hiking. One particular memory that comes to mind is when I climbed Sweden's highest mountain (more like a hill but still) with a group of 30 people. It was a beautiful day when we left in the morning, however this quickly changed and we were in the middle of a blizzard. We supported each other and pushed through. The feeling of having accomplished something together was really amazing.
Maybe it's not the most breathtaking story for outsiders but it taught me the importance of cooperating and is something I hopefully carry with me for the rest of my life.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My "about me" section pretty much says it all.
But really, I'm a delight.
Looking forward to meet you and wherever you are in your life atm, I'll fit in and step up to make it equally nice and a memorable experience. I have a lot of interests and easily adjust to what is necessary to match what you desire of a surfer.
People are complex and general description rarely makes any use. You have to adapt to the situation!
