I was born in Denmark but lived in sweden most my life. I moved to Berlin in July 2024 to work with our organisation HejHumans and expand it from here! Right now I’m also becoming a teacher and meditator in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) so that is a big part of my life! If you need some empathy, I got you ;) I also recently started The Empathy Insitute in Berlin, working to scale up empathy in the world! Check out more here: empathyinstitute.org I love travelling without any plan or deadline and to meet and get to know all the different kind of interesting people out there. My favorite way to travel: hitchhiking I got the chance to go to Pakistan working as a photographer. It was nothing short of amazing, that made me want to keep travelling and after I did a 4 month trip in the Balkans and turkey. I also hitchhiked from sweden to albania and back! That was a good one. I started an NGO called HejHumans to do projects related to human connection and how we can get more caring, compassion and presence in the world. If I can impact other peoples lives positively and at the same time meet amazing and inspiring people, then that's what I want to do! On my instagram I do different fun things about human connection! https://www.instagram.com/faunback/ My website with more info and photography portfolio: https://www.baltazarfaunback.com/ I also love to play music. I play mostly guitar but also some piano, saxophone, flute or whatever I can get my hands on. I’m always up to play with other people and jam! I like spiritualism, especially sufism is interesting to me (I went to konya to visit Mevlana)

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my all time favorite fiction books is Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafon I have a big interest in nonviolent communication, reading about it and practicing it, also in my work! Love movies. My favourites are probably The Big Blue and The Big Lebowski. I absolutely love Richard Linklater and Charlie Kaufman, their style amazes me.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hitchhiked from Sweden to Serbia and from Albania to Sweden, all without paying for a single night of accommodation. I met strangers and stayed with them or worked for a bed, incredible experience and met so many wonderful people. Went to a bar with live music in Tirana and asked if I could play with them and we jammed albanian songs together Travelled around Turkey only hitchhiking.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm trying to learn spanish (pretty passively) but I would love help with that! Also photography and filmmaking.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My thoughts and my company, and a good listening ear. Maybe some dance moves too. And my special hummus recipe.
