Am currently finalizing my master's in strategic leadership in sustainability, I live in the small beautiful town Ronneby with my son, my daugther and our 2 cats. I lead a healthy lifestyle (non-smoker, natural foods, positive mindset), work as yoga instructor, project manager, facilitator for change, enjoy learning languages, hiking in nature, reading and refurbishing houses. When I travel I like discover nature, get the feel of a town or just relax and sit back to take in and let all be what it is... I am grateful for hints of where to go when in a new place and I am very capable of taking care of myself and finding my way around, ie I do not need a guide or to be taken care and I will participate with food and cleaning - as a good flatmate - should anyone open up their home for me - which is what I would also expect from a guest in my house.

I enjoy exchanging thoughts and worldviews, experiences and learnings and hope to contribute to a better world by doing small things - by being the change I want to see in the world...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have the soul of a traveller and enjoy meeting new people from different countries. As an inherent backpacker, I like to discover new places off the touristic path... As I have lived in different countries and very much enjoy the exchange and learning that happens between cultures I prefer to travel CS style - which I have been doing a lot by keeping in touch with friends I met "on the road" - before the digital age...

For the moment I am living in a small apartment with my two kids and am not able to host until mid July when I have move into a bigger home with a living room to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Sailed" / travelled on the canals through Europe in a boat, lived for a year in a caravanne, went back to school to study - being 6 months pregnant - and passed the degree, swam with dolphines in Key Largo, waited for 4 hours in a post office for a phonecall to get through from Guatemala to Sweden - in the late 1980...
Still haven't had the time to: skydive, live in an ashram / kibbutz, walk the Chinese wall, hiking in the Andes, the roadtrip across Australia and all the other dreams I have...
