ABOUT ME

What to write under this headline?
Live in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Recently lived in Weihai China.
Would go back to University anytime.
Worked at sea (cargo ships).
Worked with subtitling (English to Swedish).
Since 2004 teacher of English as a foreign language - middle and high school.
But above all mother of 23-year old whom I love taking on trips. Nowadays, he is off on his own adventures.
I love meeting people.
Have learned that life is more precious but still not sure if I am doing the best of that knowledge.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, learn, open up

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't been on the site for a while, time to get back :) this time from a new location - China! It’s very exciting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed and I have had surfers staying with me.

Interests

Traveling, learning, walking, cycling. And is it cooking or eating I enjoy? It's both. HEAT, SUN, OCEANS. Unlimited really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some amazing things I've done...
When the Slovenian Alps caught me and pulled me up forever up.
A late summer evening Sweden, stearing my boat towards the setting sun in a fjord.
Sleeping under the stars, waking my then 6-year old up to show him the Milky Way and tell him the myth of how the Godess Hera's milk spilledd over the sky and created the galaxy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning never stops. As a teacher it is more evident than ever and it's one of the benefits of teaching - the point is there is always something to learn from every person you meet and vice versa.
