About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand this thing called life...

ABOUT ME

Happy, curious and interested in knowing new things and new people. I'm 33 years old and I have been working as a High School teacher for almost ten years. I enjoy my job, even though it can be a handful at times. My subjects that I teach are mainly Spanish and Swedish as second language, but I also have a degree in English.

In June 2012 I walked "El camino de Santiago" in Spain. A fantastic experience that I recommend to everyone! The fall of 2012 I lived for two and a half months in Arequipa in the south of Peru where I worked as a volunteer. I then extended my stay with another three months and went travelling through South America. During that time I got to see so many places and I met so many incredible people, had lots of culture shocks :) and plenty of awesome encounters and happenings.

Here in Sweden I wish to keep meeting new and fascinating people and I wish to give back all the wonderful favours and nice gestures that helped me throughout my journey.

When I'm not working I spend time with my family and friends. I try to work out a couple of times a week.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During my six months in South America I met an enormous amount of people using CS and I am forever thankful for the hospitality, kindness and joy these people showed and brought me. Now I'll be happy to host and/or meet up with people here in my home town in Sweden.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking the Camino the Santiago is by far the best thing I have ever done! 900 kilometers from the South of France, across the Pyrenees and then to Santiago de Compostela and Finisterre by the coast. It took me 33 days, an experience of a life time, where I met the nicest, funniest, coolest and most interesting people ever. I recommend everyone doing it!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Now and then I get out of my comfort zone and do things that have been on my mind for some time. My latets such thing was climbing Kebnekaise this summer, the highest top of Sweden. It was such an amazing adventure!
