I'm Ellen. I have studied a bit of literature, politics and the history of ideas, but is right now working in a school. Might finish those studies one day. I like the book The Master and Margarita, dancing at clubs all night, Diablo II and writing. I'm mostly is cheerful and I like long political discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and experience new things.

Interests

If I could spend a day exactly as I wanted it would involve hanging in the park with friends and beer, watching an exhibition, reading classical books and dancing all night long.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to a bull taunt and a bull run in Spain and felt the adrenaline pumping through my veins. I've climbed some amazing mountains in Norway.
When I was little, I used to run trough the rapeseed fields around my village with my arms stretched out like wings, and it was almost as if I flew.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know the best cafés in Gothenburg, the coolest clubs and the cheapest beers. I know which museums are free ad good parks to walk in.

I'm slowly learning Sthlm, and I know where to find beautiful spots.

I'd like to learn dances salsa and lindy hop.
