Good morning, afternoon, evening, night, depending on your particular time, as you read this. :)

Really like to talk to people and have a bunch of time for that particular activity. So here I am, for the seventy-eleventh time, looking for people that I could potentially click with and strike up a conversation, or even better, a friendship that would last for a longer amount of time, than just a day or so.

First, what I'm looking for:
* Located anywhere in the world, but would prefer within Europe.
* Similar interests/hobbies as what I got, especially the primary ones (look below).
* Willing to talk often, not necessarily every day, but not weeks in between conversations either.
* I am in a long distance relationship, so purely looking for platonic friendships, at most. (Yes, my partner is okay with me talking to people.)

Second, who am I? What kind of person is to be found here?
* A 34-year-old Swede of the "he/him" variation, born and raised in this country. Looking to move to Finland though.
* The most important interests and hobbies for me are music - my passion, video games, and ice hockey. For more details on those, keep reading.
* Other interests and hobbies I enjoy are going to the gym, watch TV shows (incl. anime), movies, and motorsport, reading books, try to learn Finnish, animals, going on walks, among other things.
* In the musical area, I collect vinyl records, love going to shows, and when it comes to the type of music I enjoy, it is different variations of metal, rock, and punk, that plays in my speakers and headphones.
* Regarding video games, I play a wide variety of games, but very, very rarely something that is multiplayer based. Got a goal to finish a set amount of games a year, to slim down my backlog. Been reaching those goals for three years straight now. The platforms I'm on are PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Right now, I'm playing Golden Eye 007, God of War: Ragnarök, Atomic Heart, Pokémon: Legends Arceus, and Jenny LeClue.
* Lastly, I'm supporting three teams in ice hockey - one from my hometown in Sweden/SHL, one from Finland/Liiga, and one from the US/NHL. They're all very near and dear to my heart and I'm fiercely loyal to all three of them.
* Part time parent, autistic (diagnosed), type 1 diabetic, and struggling somewhat with mental health issues.

Shoot me a message if you'd like to chat! Preferably in the chat, but if you'd rather do PMs, that's also a fine option. Should we then hit it off, the option to move on to elsewhere is available, it's just not something I usually do right from the get-go, so please, be aware of that. Thank you.
