Hey my name is Carl and i am swedish chef and sommelier. I am currently running a chess and wine bar in Stockholm and I am currently traveling around to meet new people and see new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered couchsurfing when I was traveling around Europe when I was 19. Since then I am almost always traveling with couchsurfing. The people you meet and the places you see when you travel this way is just so nice and I all the people I met this way are now great friends of mine.

I haven’t had as much time hosting but when I had an apartment I hosted some amazing people and I almost like hosting even more, such a nice energy boost in to your daily life having someone in your home that brings a lot of new ideas and energy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: All Tarantino movies and Wes Anderson movies are probably my favorites

Books: I don’t read as much as I would like because I’m having problems concentrate sometimes haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the best thing I did was when I decided to quit my job and travel around Europe as a street musician, hitchhiking and couchsurfing for 4 mounts. Still the best decision I made in my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play instruments and have worked a long time in food and baking so i can hopefully teach you something about it. I also tune pianos if you need it!

I’m always happy to teach and learn languages. I speak Swedish,English, French fluently and I’m learning Dutch and Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I am a chef I usually cook something nice for my hosts. Maybe I can also teach you some tips and tricks in the kitchen.
