About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be brave.

ABOUT ME

I moved my home to Berlin and I plan to stay here.
I got a job at a bookshop and love it. I mean, I get to talk about books all day! Five days a week! Wonderful.

Spontaneous, spontaneous, spontaneous!
Happy and always up for meeting new people.
A coffee freak and a beer fanatic.
I'm openminded and never embarrassed about anything. Try me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Tensta, Stockholm, mostly host surfers and are always happy to meet new people, hang out and just enjoy their company.In Berlin I go to a lot of meetings and hang out with a lot of surfers. Some of my really good friends where couchsurfing contacts from the beginning. I love it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly hosting and almost always good experience.
The thing about couchsurfing is getting to know new people from other parts of the world then tiny Sweden.

Couchsurfing is not about a free place to stay at. It's about taking a beer and talk about all the big and small things that pop up in to our heads.

Interests

Reading, Alice in wonderland (collector), history, art, music, the meeting of randomers, new experiences, beer, learning how to do great coffee with awesome latte art on them, playing games of any kind, sitcomes, geekie comics like ctrl+alt+del (CAD) and PhD - pilled higher and deeper.Recently I have discovered that I like going on trains, and specially night trains. I so want to go more on long train rides. I belive it will be like "Shanghai express" (1932) (except the murders, plus the dresses that Dietrich wears).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - I read a lot and anything that I can get a hold of. When I pick up a book I usually finish it, no matter what I think of it. Right now I read mostly German and English books that are found in the bookshop I work in.
Alice In Wonderland and Though The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll are my favorite books all time. I'm a collector of the books and have it in over 20 languages.
I also enjoy a lot of comics, like Scott Pilgrim.

Music - a lot. Let's do some exampels.
I like strong vocies, both men and women such as Jack Johnson and Anna Ternheim. Music that has a folk influens, mostley in metal like Korpiklaani and Mago de Oz.
Instumental music with cellos or voilins like Apocalytica and The String Quartet and other instrumental music such as Detektivbyrån.
I get inspired by soundtracks from movies like Garden State, Juno, Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain and Everything is Illuminated.
Music you can dance to regardless genre.
I go to almost a concert a week so it's music it something we can talk about.

Movies: Humphrey Bogart and Marlene Dietrich I adore!
Still catching up on movies their in.
I can quote way to much from Scott Pilgrim vs the world and just thinking about it makes me smile.
The Science of Sleep(2006) is a favorit as well as many other "foreign" like all I have seen from Almodovar or Kaurismäki.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Been to Matchu Pitchu without getting sick of the height, unlike my brother.
- smooth talked my way into a Jens Lekman concert.
- being pushed down the streets of Berlin in a grocery cart by a good friend, laughing until my stomach hurt and scaring Berliners.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn almost anything.
I can teach you Swedish, (old) Finnish or German.
I share the most of me.
