About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be creative and get to know myself.

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious and openhearted person who have a natural interest for people. My friends would also probably say that I'm a warm person who like to be social but with integrity. I can sometimes be very childlike an get very happy about small things that other people don't really pay attention to. I'm not a person who takes big risks, I like being tolerably safe;) But still I enjoy doing new stuff and explore new sides of myself and others!

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your stomach feeling. Be honest and true to yourself and others. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great way to get to know the world.

Interests

I'm interested in sustainable development and although I'm not as practically involved in transition towns or anything, I'm still interested in it and try my best to be part of a positive change. So healthy, animal- and environmentalfriendly food is one of my interests as well as building techniques and politiques. Another thing that really is a source of energy within me is personal development. Meditation, yoga and dance in basically all forms - but especially Swedish folkdance and lindy hop - is really what makes my life worth living:) I also have an allotment where I've started to grow my own food!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- When I'd been dancing the whole night at a folk music festival in Dalarna, in July 2012, and hadn't realised that it had become a new morning until I got out and saw the magic, pink and yellowish sunrise reflect in the walls of the old estate where the festival was being held. I'm usually not a late evening-person so this made me realise how deep into the heart of the dance that I'd been and how alive everything was around me...

- When I was 14 and watched Emir Kusturicas "Underground" on cinema. When they dove into the well... It's still my greatest movie experience ever.
