We're a calm and curious couple that enjoy meeting new people and experience new places. Both of us have studied at Karlstad University, Klara is a psychologist and Filip is an upper secondary teacher. We have a sighthound called Bella that we both care for a lot.

On our free time we like activities in the nature such as skiing, hiking, camping - but we're definitely down to grab a beer at a pub.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

We both enjoy music a lot! Klara is a classical violinist so she has a good sense for composition and she enjoys various music. Filip has a weak spot for old school hiphop and UK dubstep.

When it comes to movies we like horror (especially Filip), but we're generally interested in any genre. Klara really enjoys musicals.

As for books we are pretty much all eaters - however we are a bit picky about how books are written - for example, Klara has difficulties reading translated books, so she mostly reads books from Swedish authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Filip: When visiting the Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia, our gang decided to see the sundawn from one of the temples. We totally misinterpreted a tip of a good location and we headed off to one of the smaller temples, that little did we know, had absolutely no view and therefore no chance of catching a glimpse of the sun. It was pitch dark and we had no idea where we were going, we just heard how the jungle around us was about to wake up with all the birds singing. Eventually the sun dawned and we found ourselves alone in the middle of the jungle with a bunch of temples all around us. We walked around for hours and admired how the jungle had swallowed the old relics and made it a part of itself. Even though we never saw the sun dawn, it was a great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

We enjoy a good conversation. Psychology, sustainable development, everyday life etc.
