Overview
About Me
I am a happy, calm and curious person living in Stockholm, Sweden. During my life I've been living in different places around the world but now I'm back in the town I was born in, attending university. I love traveling and getting to know people from other parts of the world! It makes me feel free and independent and I hate staying in the same place for too long time...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Mostly beause I'm keen on getting to know new people and helping them with their travels!
Traveling is one of my great passions and I think by staying with hosts from Couchsurfing I will get a much better experience and image of a place than the one I would get from staying at a hostel!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
I play the guitar, piano and harmonica and music is my greatest hobby!
I have a quite mixed taste in music but my favourite genre is Rock. I'm a huge fan of Oasis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, CCR, The Who, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Smiths, The Police, The Stone Roses, Blur, Radiohead, The Verve, Glasvegas, The Libertines, Kasabian, Muse, Coldplay, Keane, Mumford & Sons and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
When I lived in Argentina I got to know the "Rock Nacional" and became a big fan of bands from Argentina and Uruguay.
I also listen to some German bands and obviously to a lot of music from my home country Sweden.
I like Reggae as well, but I don't really know too many bands of the genre. Although I love Bob Marley and SOJA!
I listen to some Soul every now and then, actually I'm a huge Otis Redding fan but I also like Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Amy Winehouse.
Hip-hop and Rap is not what I usually listen to, but I actually do admire Eminem and Kid Cudi among others.
Movies:
Clockwork Orange, Invictus, The Intouchables, The Great Escape, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars
German documentary "Weit", it's about a couple that travels around the world without going by airplane. They're staying with lots of couch surfers on their trip :)
Books:
Henrik Berggren's book on Dag Hammarskjöld, the former UN Secretary-General from Sweden. Hermann Hesse's Siddharta is probably my favourite German book. I enjoy reading books about history mostly.
