I'm a 27 year old woman who loves traveling and experiencing new things and new places. I love photography and filming, especially everything I discover on my travels. I grew up just outside of Gothenburg in Sweden and have always yearned to go anywhere and everywhere. When I finished school I was a bit lost and worked in various places for a while until I started working as a guide abroad. I did that for about 2-2,5 year. Now I've almost got myself a Bachelor's Degree in Film, only a few months left, and my body is itching to go traveling again!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna discover the world. The whole world. And that includes the people of the countries that I go to. I feel that this is a good way of meeting awesome people in the countries that I go to.

I've always been a bit scared that I would run in to those horror-story-killers and so on when traveling, but I have decided to face my fears and just go out there. I know that people are genuinely nice and kind, and that's what I want to prove to myself and to the rest of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't know this one actually.. It changes over time. Music I like to vary, but if I would choose a book I'd say Sophie's world. I don't know if I like it as much now as I did when I was a kid, but it definitely had a huge impact on me then. And movies... hmm.. For the moment I enjoy the superhero movies and series but I also enjoy a good mix - depending on my mood.
