About Me

Open to host this Summer. Please ignore the low response rate!

CURRENT MISSION

To have new adventures. I am keen to give something back by hosting a bit more now that I am able to.

ABOUT ME

I moved from London to Gothenburg, Sweden for my job.
I'm loving experiencing living in a new country and keeen to share it with others!

I work at the university here. My favourite things are music, nature, science, coffee (fika!), the outdoors... and obviously meeting new people and travelling!

I love new cities and getting lost in them, which seems to happen literally fairly often. But equally happy outside cities, I love hiking, cycling and swimming in lakes and the sea.

I quit couchsurfing when it became a buisiness, but I have realised that it really is still unique. I love how it can connect you to people and a place far more than an airbnb or a hostel, which is purely transactional. Now I have my own place I'm able to host a bit and want to give something back and share wonderful Gothenburg with people!

Friendly to LGBTQ+, different gender identities, cultures and beliefs, but let me know in advance if there is a way I can be more accomodating (eg religious requirements or veganism) and I will see what I can do.

I much prefer hosting at the weekend when I can properly show you things. But can host in the week if required.

Triple vaccinated against covid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tavelling is way better when you surf!

Interests

I'm a very talkative person and have been told I can chat about anything (not sure if that's a good thing). I particularly enjoy talking with new people about the culture and politics of different countries, which is why I am here.

I love the outdoors, and my favourite thing about Gothenburg. I love cycling, hiking and swimming in lakes and the sea.

I love music. When I was in London I would go to gigs all the time. Im still discovering the Gothenburg music scene. I think festivals are the best thing ever!

I enjoy sports and love long distance running. I love learning new sports in new countries. In Sweden I've been playing padel, spikeball, Kubb!?

I love cooking (and eating!) and always want to learn new recipes from other cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

All Tarantino films (Pulp Fiction is my favorite)
Studio Ghilbli and Pixar!

I love all kinds of music, especially psycadellic rock, hip-hop and alternative rock. Absolutely love Bob Dylan and the Doors.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Somewhere to stay, with good transport to the center and to the forests and lakes nearby.

I'm fairly new to Gothenburg, but have already found some cool places which I can share tips. I think I'm a good guide.
I love to show people the city, as well as the surrounding nature.

Im a keen cyclist, and have a spare bike, so we can cycle to the beach/lakes if you like :)
