Hello! I'm a Swedish musician (google "FreddeGredde" if you are curious), I'm very friendly, easy-going, calm, I smile a lot, and I try to make everyone around me comfortable and happy.

I am a bit odd though, so if you prefer people who follow social standards, I might confuse you. But if you like unusual and honest thoughts and questions, you will probably enjoy my peculiar way of being!

In July 2014, I sold all my things in Sweden and have basically traveled the world since then. When not traveling, my home is nowadays the Philippines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is one of the best ways of traveling, because you experience the culture and people from a more personal/local point of view. I've hosted people several times in Sweden, and have surfed in most countries I've visited.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a whole lot of of movies and series, so I've basically seen everything, and I like discussing them and comparing!
My favorite "genre" is animation (especially by Ghibli and Pixar), and I also like stuff like Kill Bill 1, Amelie, The Butterfly Effect, The Green Mile, Little Children, Perfume, A Beautiful Mind, Before Sunrise, Seven Pounds, etc etc.

I also read a lot. All kinds of books really.

As for music, I prefer progressive rock, where lots of changes and ideas happen within the songs. Both 70's stuff like Yes and Genesis, as well as newer prog like Karmakanic, The Flower Kings and IQ.
Slightly more popular bands like Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Muse, System of a Down, Dream Theater, Sigur Ros, The Mars Volta, The Beatles and Queen are also cool!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me when we meet! ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like teaching languages (Swedish, English, maybe a bit of Spanish), and card games! Definitely don't hesitate to ask if you're curious about either.
