About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to organise a trip to the British Isles by train and/or ferry.

ABOUT ME

Easygoing, energetic and a very enthusiastic language geek. I love meeting interesting people, and I happen to find most people that I meet very interesting.

PHILOSOPHY

Meet new people; they will give you new perspectives on the same old world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to have someone to hang out with and a place to stay when I'm travelling, so the least I can do is offer the same.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met the most wonderful people surfing. They have opened their homes and their hearts for me, shared their knowledge, their food, their time, guided me around their cities, and I feel so lucky and happy that I had the chance to meet them and I can't wait to give someting back - to host people on my couch.

Music, Movies, and Books

Rock, metal, punk, balkan, klezmer, reggae, swing, jazz, blues, hiphop, pop.. anything goes, really!

Since I'm an anglophile, I love most anything by the BBC... but I'm definitely open to new influences.

I read a lot of classic and contemporary books in English for uni, and I used to read a lot of plays during college. Nowadays it's mostly books on politics and whatever we're reading in the book club I'm in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up in the middle of the forest in early springtime after having slept under a pine tree without even a sleeping bag, and seing this huge moose standing about 30ft away...

Teach, Learn, Share

Swedish (vegetarian) food, music, movies, books and culture in general. I know quite a lot about the local area as well, and the southern part of Sweden in general.
Hopefully I'll have some time to show you around.
