Hey!

I'm John from Sweden. A restless, social, food-loving, artist and songwriter. Check out my music project "Traveling John" here www.facebook.com/travelingjohnmusic | www.instagram.com/travelingjohnmusic/

The last few years I've been out traveling allot. In the USA and South America. I've traveled with my guitar and recording equipment and volunteered on organic farms (wwoofing) allot as well.

CouchSurfing has played such a major part in letting me live relatively cheap on my travels and has helped me meet so many wonderful people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it has erased the line between living and traveling. Money doesn't have to be a big issue. When you realize that you can spend 6 months on the other side of the world, not spending much more money than at home (thanks to people hosting you) it opens up the world to you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Simon and Garfunkel, Bob dylan, Ryan Adams, James Taylor, Håkan Hellström, Ted Gärdestad, Cat Stevens, Laleh, Jenny Wilsson etc.

Goodbye Lenin, Darjeeling limited, Big Lebowski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I quit my day job that I didn't care too much for and went away traveling, making music and choose to live my life as I wanted, not in the way people were expecting me to.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Guitar, English, Swedish, (a tiny bit of Spanish) piano, studio recording and talk about the WWOOFING community and other alternative ways of living for hours.
