About Me

I recently moved to Stockholm, Sweden, to work in a Swedish speaking school as teacher. Again a new adventure in ahead of me.
As the previous 8 months I ´ve been "traveling" in Helsinki area because there has been a water leakage and renovation in my apartment I have not had too much eagerness to travel that much. But now, in Stockholm it is great to see new places and meet new people.
I live very modest and have slept in the floor on a thin mattress for the past 7 years now, I think. So it is always good to have a mattress that suits me. So as a guest I really do not need much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the year 2015-2016 I had a big house in the aurora borealis -region in northernmost Finland. It was a great way to meet people who travelled all the way up north to see huskies, reindeers, snow and sometimes even -37c!
I had lovely dinners and discussions and I think the maximum number I hosted at the same time was 7 people.

Interests
