I'm a spontaneous happy girl from Sweden who loves to travel. Due to my line of work I only work 6 months a year (during harvest) which gives me the opportunity to travel the rest of the year. So far I have studied and lived in Australia. Backpacked through Europe, The karibean and Central America, Asia and Africa. Ive also solo roadtripped across Australia. Currently I'm on a new trip which so far has taken me across Russia on the transibirian, one month island hoping in Hawaii and over to the mainland US roadtripping across the country.

The reason why I travel is to broaden my mind. I truly believe that you need to get out of your comfort zone, meet new people and experience new cultures to become a better human being.

My favorite thing to do is to meet new people. To learn from them and to make new friends. I'm a very outgoing and silly person who loves to joke and smile a lot :)

My favorite quote is this one from Jean-Jacques Rousseau:

"The first person who, having enclosed a plot of land, took it into his head to say this is mine and found people simple enough to believe him was the true founder of civil society. What crimes, wars, murders, what miseries and horrors would the human race have been spared, had some one pulled up the stakes or filled in the ditch and cried out to his fellow men: "Do not listen to this imposter. You are lost if you forget that the fruits of the earth belong to all and the earth to no one!"

Sums up the way I look at life and the world we live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had heard a lot about this community through my fellow travellers but I never thought it was for me. So I'm here hoping to change that opinion!

Interests

Travelling of course and learning about different cultures. I'm also a big animal person, absolutely love dogs! My biggest passion is environmental questions and at home I am a member of the green party and I've read a couple courses in the subject too. When I was studying in Australia I was reading Sustainability Management and it is within this field I would like to work in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big Sci fi nerd so anything related to that goes. Star Wars is one of my favorite movies and Star Trek: Enterprise and Game of Thrones is my favorite series. Book wise I love to read old novels and I would have to say that my favorite book is "The long ships" by Frans G. Bengtsson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow all of them! Although the last amazing thing I did was skydiving, trying to concur my fear of heights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to teach Swedish to anyone who dares to accept the challenge!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love exchanging stories and travel tips and learning about people's lives. I'm a very open person and I can talk about anything. Hopefully we can enjoy each others company and have a nice time together with a glad of wine!
