About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Following my heart.

ABOUT ME

oh, gosh.
I am very talkative and bubbly. I'ld love to do everything, all at once, and I just talk a lot, and it goes on and on, (and on). I love life, I am smiling pretty much all the time, and seriously a bit wacky too.

The definition of impulsive, that is me. I just do things, for no reason more than I wanted to. Just to take a bag and go travel a week is nothing uncommon. I giggle, laugh loud, have a questionable sense of humor, too much energy, and just loves to jump in puddles on rain and when someone forgets to empty out the fluff from the dryer.

It's something about being around people, like, all the time. I don't enjoy "alone time" and to "be for myself for a while to think", that is not me. People all around, all the time, yes please!

Long coffees, longer coffeebreaks, more coffeebreaks, having a stroll, going shopping for nothing, just hanging out. Since i own my own company and am employed by myself I plan my time as I feel, and that makes it possible for me to chill out all the time:)

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day like the happiest day in your life. A smile makes everything just the best. Act on impulse and act with your heart.
Every one in the world is my potential best friend, until they prove otherwise:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love people. I love the stories. the only way to grow and gain experinence is to learn from others, listen to others, and create with others. Everyone has a story to tell, and they are all so interesting, because they are all different!
By sharing my couch i help others find new stories, and I might just get to participate and listen to a few of em!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Im a newbie to the couchsurfing thing, but i often "just go" meet people i never met (from internetforums and such) to crash at their place, see their town and do stuff for a weekend or so. So CS sounds like the perfect place for me!

Interests

Mainly, and what i basically live for is my retouching. I have a business with another retoucher (we are called eightbit- www.eightbit.se) and it is just... everything to me:) the best job in the world!

My personal interest besides the retouching and photography are painting, singing, sewing, basically anything creative. Maybe turn the entire apartment upsidedown to build a fort, and then watch a movie from inside it, or war with paper planes. Yikes, I am just as childish as i sound sometimes, and I love it!

Then not to forget, I am a real techfreak. With the latest in apple-electronics, or just anything that runs on electricity pretty much. I love computers. (and of some reason i think kitchen appliances, kitchenfans, ventilation, taps and white goods are reaaaaally interesting!)

And nintendo. I have a Nintendo 8bit controller tattooed on my shoulder.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:singer/songwriter, because I love singing, and it just suits me. But i can listen to anything.
Movies: Ghibli movies are my favs, but any day i can squeeze in a romantic drama (oh I am a hopeless romantic).
books: I don't read to much since i just have such a short attentionspan that I can't get though something that is to long. But i would love to read them. The ones i have are all terry pratchett and harry potter:P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh. Such a difficult question!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more languages. Oh i would love to be able to communicate in more that my english, swedish and beginner german. I am trying to learn japanese, and it is hard, but I'm not giving up! Then again, I want to just meet, and learn anything. Every experience is good experience.

Anything I know I don't mind to share, if it is photography and retouch, techstuff, or swedish, sewing or how to make the most awesome chocolate mousse, anything!
