Overview
About Me
Hello. Hejsan. Hola. :)
I was born in Sweden.
I grew up in Seattle, WA (Sammamish specifically) from the age of 8 years old!
I went to college (uni) in Bellingham, WA at Western WA U where I meet the most amazing group of feminist sisters for life. I studied theater and started a teaching degree too.
I got burned out and took off to Madrid to learn Spanish and work as an Au Pair. Spain is a fantastic country!!
I moved back to WA-Bellingham, Sammamish, and Tacoma. In Tacoma I learned to donArco-Yoga! I would love to try that again! In Sammamish I started Rock Climbing and thats a very fun sport that I still do from time to time.
I am now living in Stockholm (Skogås) as a primary school English teacher.
Stockholm is an amazing country and I love how I constantly meet people from other countries!
Traveling and meeting new people is my passion!
I also enjoy writing, hiking, biking, ice skating and snowboarding, dogs and kids, painting, dancing, and cooking :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I stayed with hosts through Europe when I was backpacking with two friends and it was amazing!! Our hosts were truly generous and awesome :)
Someday when I have my own place, I will host travelers :)
