About Me

CURRENT MISSION Jesus, travel, make friends, love and learn .

ABOUT ME Young guy who tries to grow every day as a person, loves Jesus and hopefully makes the most out of his life.

PHILOSOPHY
It’ll be alright.
In 50 years time you’ll be more thankful of the things you did do than the things you didn’t do.
We’re all gonna die someday.
Don’t make money, make memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Walk with Jesus, no matter where that takes me, but as long as participating in CS I've almost only been hosting, for now not travelling that much but we'll have to wait and see what he has planed for me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I´ve almost only been hosting so far, however, that´s been amazing and since I enjoy travelling more I can´t wait to visit somebody else.

Interests

I dance, work out, work, hang out with friends and travel. There's more of course but it'd be too much getting into detail.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Bible is the best book I´ve read, other than that "The hundred year old man”, “The Art of listening to Heartbeats”, “A Song of Ice and Fire”, “Harry Potter”, “Assassins Creed”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Whispering Shadows”.

Listens to most kinds of music.

Hot shots 1 and 2 is the funniest movies I've seen, The Unthinkable is great. Black Mirror, The Office, Community, Brooklyn 99, Game of Thrones, Friends, House.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, there's much... but I've been on Swedens highest mountain, I've meet people from almost all the countries I've been in. And I plan on keeping doing it as long as possible.

I traveled by myself from Cape town South Africa to Dar es Salaam Tanzania by myself during two months and meet a whole lot of nice people along the way, learned about different people and got to see so much.

I've also been on a volunteer trip with a Swedish church in Myanmar for 5 months, the most amazing trip I've ever done and I got sooo much influence and many friends.

I traveled Southeast-Asia for about 3 months by myself, spent most time in Vietnam and I learnt a lot about the different asian cultures.

I spent two months in India and Nepal, got new friends, a lot of new experiences and saw some things I'll never forget.

I’ve been working for a few years in China, travelled around Shanghai and a few other cities in the huge country.

Went through Europe on my way down to India during about 40 days, passed through a lot of different countries but Istanbul was my favorite place.

Traveled in 2019 through Europe, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar. Indonesia and Sri Lanka was my favorites but the people of Iran was something special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm trying to learn as much as possible when traveling, from all different countries, different people and how they behave and react in all sorts of situations and how that is different from what I'm used to.

I can teach you dance, a little guitar, learning techniques to memorize, ways to exercise and I have loads of stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many stories, thoughts, discussions. I can show you around if I'm free by then.
