Hello you!

I am always looking to get to know new people and usually have a plan for an upcoming trip.

I am pretty easy going and like hanging out with my guests that is kind of the point with CS right? I can give a great tour of Södermalm, the south part of Stockholm. Of course, we want to show some of the Swedish culture and food but if I don't have time to cook it together we know some really good places where to get it close by!

As the apartment is small I would like to make clear that we will be sleeping in the same room (1 room apartment) and the sofa that converts into a 140 cm bed is yours. I also snore from time to time! Hopefully I haven't scared you off with this - better to be honest than sorry :)

Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically, I am on couchsurfing to meet intresting people from all cultures. It helps that every single person I have hosted and met through Couchsurfing has been a good experience. It seems like the nicest people end up here.

I will add more things here as I remember them

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I have done a 17 days hike in Nepal that was truly amazing.
* I have lived in San Francisco for three months and I must say that it probably was the best months of my life :)
* Hiking in the Virunga forest to experience the mountain gorillas was also amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to poach an egg, program something or take you biking and of course share a lot of travel experiences :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Possibly my knowledge of Stockholm which is quite decent. I have lived in the larger Stockholm area my whole life and the central areas for the last 3 years.

We enjoy hanging out with our guests (what is otherwise the point of hosting someone) This, of course, depends on our current schedule, but usually we try to put in at least one day of showing our guests around the city. If you prefer to explore the city yourself then feel free to do so then you'll be sent off with some recommendations instead :)

* Our everyday life contains hanging out with friends in restaurants/cafes/bars all around the city.

* I like hiking and can provide you with areas close to Stockholm with good hiking opportunities. (We might even tag along if we feel up for it :)

* I am somewhat knowledgeable about beers and can recommend bars with a great beer assortment. (I can also recommend really cheap bars if that's your thing :)
