About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet people from all around the world. Listen to their stories and learn. Perhaps that way I can understand life a little bit more.

ABOUT ME

I'm a woman of tons of ideas and plans and I like to keep active. I love conversations with different people and I think I am pretty easy to talk to. My priority in life is to be happy, and I am most happy when encountering people and experiencing the wonders of nature. I am spontaneous and somewhat irrational, which gives me motivation and energy. I am not the biggest fan of routine. I have lived in 7 different countries in the past 7 years.

PHILOSOPHY

I am here for trying to make the space around me even a little bit warmer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have just been surfing. All the experiences have been great!

Interests

What has always interested me most in my life is moving and living in different places, meeting people and challenging myself with unfamiliarity. Lately I have started thinking about settling down somewhere though. A little scary although exciting thought.

Me and my partner have started dreaming of building a tiny house some day. We both love the idea of living minimalist life.

I like to read books, especially lifestyle books and the ones about psychology. I love hiking and just wondering in the nature. Mountains, oceans, forests... I love them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music based on my mood. Funk, soul, older rap, reggae, trip hop, alternative rock, house.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. Made me feel very alive and present in the moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can perhaps share tips on how to move to another country.

I would love to learn how to cook vegetarian/vegan meals. I love baking and trying new recipes but do not really excel at cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideally I would like to share some meals together, stories, maybe a little excursion somewhere.
