CURRENT MISSION

I am firstly exploring Australia for a little over a month, traveling from Melbourne up to Brisbane by whatever mode of transportation I can find! I have a flight from Brisbane to Phuket, and from there on I will get back to my home country Sweden without the use of planes. I will ravel through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China and Russia. This is at least the dream, I hope I can make it all the way! Included in the mission is to explore the food culture of all the places I meet; I am an eating tourist for sure! The most important thing that I will pack is my "do it your self"-recipe book where I hope to fill the pages with amazing food from my trip!

ABOUT ME

As noted above, I love trying new food, and this is a huge part of my traveling ways! This also makes me a rather easy going traveler since I will be quite happy if I am just allowed good food and have my legs to walk around with. Do not really need big extravagant things, I just want to see how you guys are living, how life is in other places of the world. I have up until now lived only in cultures which are fairly similar to the one where I grew up (Have been living in Switzerland, England, Netherlands och Canada), so I am extremely excited to widen my horizons!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been looking forward to have an opportunity to participate here at CS for some time now (as you can see I became a member in 2014) but never found a good time to do so. Obviously now as I will be backpacking through Australia, Asia and Russia, this is the perfect opportunity to be a part of this community. Hopefully I will, for the first time, have my own place to live when I get back from my travels and then I also plan to start hosting as well (which will be so exciting!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have just hosted twice, and that was really a lot of fun! Have not tried to surf myself yet so I am looking forward to it a lot! Hope to fill this part with long explanations of my experiences in not too long!

Zainteresowania

Travelling (but mostly if I can stay longer in a place, but am trying the faster backpacking way now!), reading (a lot of classics atm, but that is constatly changing; last year I had a old crime novel period!), history (very general term there, but am interested in times gone by in a lot of fields!), vintage hair styles (got quite good at that during the years so if you want me to teach you something I can!), secondhand stores, cooking (especially local/different food, as you migth have noticed from the previous explanations) old movies (all from silent b/w to cheesy 60's romance)!

Muzyka, filmy i książki

This is a really hard one! I am quite slow with these things and usually just 'consume' what is infront of me... With music: I have an old iPod which has not been updated since 2009 which I listen to (a lot of Swedish pop there). My spotify is slowly starting to explore its potentials, but it is mostly through borrowing others' playlists! Mostly I would say I listen to calmer and slower music! I also listen a lot to local radio, so some chart-songs sneak in to the repertoire I would say!
I am afraid to say that it is the same with movies as well. I have not had internet for a long time so I do not really keep up in that way, and mostly I get stuck watching 'cozy detective movies' such as Poitor, Miss Marple, Midsumer Murders. I have watched a lot of movies in the 1001 movies you should see before you die book, the silent b/w ones and I like that a lot. I have a preference for old movies, or movies which are in a historic setting! Series I watch are GOT, Mad Men, Peaky Blinders, Fröken Fridmans Krig, Sherlok Holmes among others!
Books would take way too long to go through; I read everything and a lot!! (Would make my day if you wanted to do a book swap with me if you host me!)

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

Moving abroad! Cannot take this space to explain how much that benefits your person, it has been amazing, all the four times!

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

Teach: Would not mind doing tandemtalks! The languages I know are Swedish, English, French and Dutch, the first two fluently, the other two rather well. I could teach you about Vintage hair do's. I am also quite a good math tutor, but on a not to advanced level.
Learn: If any of the above is interesting to you I would love to learn some skills that you might posses!
