Overview
About Me
Swedish woman that used to running around the world while finishing up my master in industrial engineering online. Currently working and living my best life in Florida.
I'm from a small southern town in Sweden. Growing up in a very safe and homogeneous place created this dream of exploring what life was like in other places in the world.
I traveled solo for more or less five years I've seen places and has experiences during this time I never thought I'd have in a lifetime.
Traveling has changed me to the core and I don't think I'll ever be the same. I used to plan my trips to include as many things as possible. Over time I've realized it's not about what and how much you see, it's about how you feel when you're there. Oftentimes it's those unexpected interactions with people that creates the strongest memories.
Loving the couch surfing lifestyle!
