About Me

ABOUT ME

I live in the outskirts of Malmö with my boyfriend and our small daughter.
I enjoy my work as a journalist, cooking and eating good food, being creative and crafty, cultural stuff and going on adventures.
We don't host very often but you can always ask! Only personal requests will be replied to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hanging out with the CS comunity in Malmö and have made some really good friends from there. Nowadays I dont host so often, only when I get a request from a person I really feel that I want to hang out with and who writes a personal request. So try me! : )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed my way through Canada, and I really loved it. We had a great experience all the way from our first hosts to our last and I am so happy that I discoverd this new way of travlling! After that I have been sleeping on peoples couches in England, Spain, Italy, Iceland and Denmark.
