About Me

Hi!
I'm a dance artist and teacher living in Malmö. I have lived here for soon two years. I like it. The see, that you can bike everywhere, all my queer friends, dancing friends, activist friends, friends from different corners of the world.

Most of my life i lived in Stockholm. I took a dance education in Finland for three years. I moved back and did a teachers education and then I have been trying to work with that at a bunch of different schools. I like to work with kids, but can't stop questioning the school system.For lot's of years now I have been dancing contact improvisation. With two other dancers working on a dance collective, performances and teaching dance.

Two summers ago me and a partner of mine biked through Sweden- from Skellefteå in the (kind of) north of Sweden to Skåne in the south. That was amazing and I and we have big dreams of how to continue doing bike adventures through the world...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is great. I'm sad I have used it so little, both to host and get hosted, I have to kick myself a little and be brave to do it.. .So I look forward, now when I actually have a home, to be able to invite people to the beautiful town I love to live in. And I find it very exiting to get to meet people while traveling, it's a big part of wanting to travel for me. It's also that it is practical, and I know after 40 days with bike and tent, it's amazing to have a floor or a bed and a shower sometimes, it just is....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eh... first thing that came to my mind: I'm twenty and living in a squat in Barcelona, we are going to someone living in a abandoned campsite, and going of the train at a station too early, deciding to walk. Walking all evening and all night through sand and on cliffs; the heated discussions among us three people not knowing each other so well, the guy telling us to run through the forest, sleeping at the beach.

One amazing thing was my trip to visit my dear Mustafa and his family and friends in Egypt in May.

One amazing thing right now is my Canada trip with my dear Emelia - dance adventures, meeting family and friends adventures, learnig to know each other adventures, and being in a new part of the world for me...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some contact impro skills and other dance skills :) Specially in connection to thoughts and practice around consent and clarity. I'm good at massage and body work too.

If you come visiting I would love to share what I like about Malmö with you! And invite you to the contact jams if you happen to visit at a Sunday ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not necessarily talking as much as I'm writing, don't worry, (but I can when in the mood). I do like to listen a lot, and share and think together. And to be in my own bubble and give space...
Cooking food, making cakes, wash the dishes, make an improvised dance performance :)
