I was born in Sweden, although you may have noticed that I don't look particularly Swedish. If you're looking for a blonde and blue eyed viking, you shall leave this profile sorely disappointed; my hair is quite black, and my eyes are dark brown. Nevertheless, it seems my Swedish genes have ensured that I'm tall, so if you're in need of someone to fetch things from cupboards and shelves, I shall send my CV to you promptly.

I am Gromit , Dalek, and Jaffa Cake.

I've moved about quite a bit the past few years. I seem to have an inability to say no to new opportunities, which has led to many a lovely adventure. I'm currently finishing my uni studies and trying to decide where to go next: should I study more, or should I grow up (somewhat) and delve into professional life? If you have any suggestions as to where tall faux-Swedes are in demand, I'm all ears.

Finding new things to be passionate about. I'm an incredibly curious person, and I'm always looking for new things to see, hear, do, or learn. That sounds awfully generic, I know, but it has an infectious quality - if you're the kind of person that detests change and demands strict routine (without good reason), we will likely not get along. On the other hand, if you have a genuine joie-de-vivre and zest for life, then we'll be kindred spirits. That being said, I reckon that people of incredibly varied tastes and opinions can get along, so don't be shy.

First that I’m tall, and I often smile. After that, I usually look like I’m going somewhere important, although I rarely am, I just like the feeling. People also notice that I don’t sound or look Swedish. I like this, as it confuses them, and I sometimes daydream that it makes me mysterious. I still haven't convinced people to call me Mr Mysterious.

Adventure-I realise everybody on here says that, but I'm up for new experiences and challenges, ideally shared ones.
Travelling- experiencing something new, meeting new people, seeing something different
That first sip of a cold pint or drink after a long day, just after you’ve taken your shoes off
Excercise, sports, being active –whatever you wish to call it, the rush given by pushing yourself as far as you can go is incredible
Taking risks – if you don’t take a risk once in a while, what’s the point?
Communication - In all forms - reading, listening to music, speaking, listening, meeting new people.

Why they don't have Ribena in most other countries, or Cadbury Creme Eggs. In addition, why is having steak for breakfast not the norm?

As of late it's been thesis work - not the most exciting of endeavours. Soon that shall be over and I'll be ready for adventure once more!

I'm terrible at wrapping gifts, and my handwriting hasn't improved since I was 12.

If you think we would get along, if you have a new experience to offer me, if you think we are like-minded, or if you are generally curious about anything I’ve written here. Don’t be shy, I don’t bite (except for Tuesdays).
