COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I`ve never tried it! But i guess its about time:)

Interests

I love to read, watching movies and travel. Hanging out with friends at cafees and just chat about everything. Social media is a big part of my life, because it makes it possible for me to stay in touch with friends from all over. I am also Hard of hearing, so i have deaf friends from several parts of the world.
I work with people who have disabilities and i just love to met new people, as long as i can understand/hear what they are saying;)
I have travel around, but mostly together with a friend or several friends. But now i`ll do something i`ve dreamt about since i was a bit younger than today;) Travel alone.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Crime, Sci-Fi, all of it actually.
Movies: i love watching movies and series, different kinds.
Music: i used to listen a lot to music, but my hearing is not what it used to be, but i like to read the lyrics of some songs, and sometimes i use Shazam to discover new songs just because i like the melody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2003 i went on a sailboat trip from Malaga to La Coruna in Spain with a friend, and some of his family and friends - and that experience, its just what to say, Awesome!
Out on the ocean in a sailboat, you kind of feel really small! and the sunset and sunrise!! wow!!
For those 18 days i slept like a baby, and visited a lot of places along the coast in Spain and Portugal, and i think thats one of my best trip ever!

In 2010, in december, me and a friend went to Thailand. First we were in Bangkok, and then we went to Koh Chang! its about 5 hours with bus from bangkok, an island! And what a wonderful time! It was almost full moon at the time, and one night the moon felt so close that it was almost possible to touch it! Wonderful!!! I`ve never seen the moon so close before!

In 2008 i was in Prague, with some friends who also is Hard of Hearing (HoH). Its like a local group who travel for some days. The last night we went to a restaurant to eat, and suddenly i see people using sign language (from England). I made contact, and got a note with an adress to a pub somewhere in Prague and we agreed upon going there to meet them later that night. So we did, me and 3 other friends. I`m the only one with some International sign experience. We came there, and the pub was crowded with different deaf people from Prague, England and France, and it was just an fun night!
We went to another pub/ Salsa (dancing) Place, and danced all night long! Still today have contacts with the people I met that night! Just for once beeing really impulsive, and realize its not dangerous, but all about fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

People are like books, you gotta read them to know them - meaning: you gotta open up, talk together, find a way to communicate. you dont have to love everyone in the world, but everyone deserves respect!
