About Me

CURRENT MISSION

getting green fingers

ABOUT ME

Creative cyclist
Often absent minded with (too) many ideas bouncing around
Really into finding food in the wild and dumpster diving
Native to sweden but got stuck in scotland and loves it
Ecology and permaculture, yes please! teach me!
Let's turn the public space into a place for the people not cars.
I 'm active Loejse member, my small way of changing the world?
After all, Im not that good at describing myself, better meet me in real life

PHILOSOPHY

thinking is good, but you'll also have to realize that it is when you make thought into action that change is created.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First tried it when I was moving to Scotland, and since then me and my flatmates have hosted some really nice folks. And when time and place is right I try to meet up with the others from the Glasgow group. now I've moved back to sweden again though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

not been cs:ing until i moved to scotland, funnily enough i happened to move in with my hosts after staying on the couch for 3 weeks while looking for a flat. so trying couchsurfing was definatly one of the best decisions i ever made Right now my flatmates are not up for couchsurfers but I love showing people the hidden gems of this city!

Interests

people - friends or strangers
music - preferably live with dancing included
D.I.Y - love making stuff using my hands
and: imagination, cycling,nature
Imaginative cooking - kitchen chemistry, sometimes it turns out delicious, sometiems not.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People you meet in everyday life amaze me. But nature is something that is hard to beat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite a good walkietalkie - taking walks and talk, the best way to find your way in a city and getting to know someone. But i do also know quite a few things about gardening and crafty stuff.
would love to learn more about transition towns, perma culture. learn all kinds of languages!
and what would be awesome is bikefixing skills
