About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Australia

ABOUT ME

Im a 22 year old guy from sweden. At the moment im travelling australia for a bit. I got some friends travelling with me but i think i'll be going it alone, hitchiking and couch surfing. I try to get by as cheap as possible.

I was the only vegetarian in my family and when i turned vegan i had to do all my own cooking. That taught me to cook and I'd say I've gotten quite good at it. I dont do any drugs or alcohol or anything like that although I keep an open mind towards other peoples choises.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live my life and gain my experiences without anyone else having to suffer for it. Sadly, the way the world is constructed, comming from a western industrialised country that is close to impossible so I do what I can. To that i incude other species, I guess I just dont see no reason why I should make them suffer when I simply can choose not to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since im out travelling at the moment I cant really participate more than by surfing peoples couches and hopefully make a good impression where i go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done some cs. in tasmania with my friend and I had really good experiences from the three places we surfed. Really very nice people. And I hope it keeps on :)

Interests

Music has alwas been a big part of my life: playing in diffrent bands, listening to it, going to shows, hanging out with other people with the same interest, promoting show, going on tours etc.

I also do alot of photography, oldschool with the negatives and all that. Mostly b/w so if you know of any good darkrooms i could borrow let me know!

I really like to work out wether it might be cardio, lifting weights or doing martial arts I just try to keep going.

I also listen to alot of punk/hardcore - Killing the dream, parkway drive, No warning, 50 lions, brick vs face, suicide file (I could go on forever)

Books
I do too litle reading cause i relly enjoy it but never get around to. I like some of the classics, Dostojevskij, Kafka at the moment im reading into the wild and it really is something i can recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in the mountains in sweden during winter was really nice. Taking a dump in the wild at 30 C below with snow storming round you and the best view you can imagine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make meat-like products from wheat flour! And other vegan cooking trix.

I'd like to learn how to kite surf. Ive done some of it but i only got a couple of meters.
