About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Simplify my living.

Love, live well and spread the loveshine!

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious girl, ready to experience the multiple facets of life.
From my experiences I'm giving to others and
I believe it's all a matter of giving and getting.

In my quiet moments I like to do chi gong and to paint. I also enjoy the pleasure of reading and caring for my plants :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be generous!

Do epic shit. Go forth and be a force of the awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've travelled with Hospitalityclub before and it was a great experience! If the time is right I'll show you my favourite spots of this town. I live in a little house on the countryside, 15 km away from the bus- and trainstation of Örebro. In my house there is space for everyone. You're most welcome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yes yes!! I've travelled with HC before and now, as I finally have an adress, it's payback time, my friends! I know how good it feels to have a pleasant stay and it's also a great way of keeping the linguistic level updated ;)

Interests

Dancing (rock for the moment...), alternative medicine, painting, needle work, playing the piano (on my way to start over again), writing poems, playing board games, watching the stars, drinking tea with a friend while philosofying about Life, enjoying the heat from the fireplace...

And sharing my thoughts and experiences through my blog!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music with a various touch. Rock, pop, meditative music, trance, grunge, country...
Nice books I've read: "The Hat Shop on the Corner" by Marita Colon McKena, The power of now by Eckhart Tolle, Your competent child by Jesper Juul.

I like movies which makes people think hard and/or which makes me laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loads! What first comes up in my mind is the biketrip I made in 2012 with an unknown Couch Surfer. We cycled 7000 km from the most northern to the most southern point of Europe. I carried all our luggage and his only means of transportation was his unicycle...! Find us on facebook: Unicycling 4 love

In 2008, cycling from south of France to Sweden. No tent, no towel, but still 12 kg of luggage - carried on the back! Crossing the Massive Central to start with. Tough but amaaaazing!
2006, I moved to Greece to participate in an enviromental project where we worked to protect the african chamaeleon and I quickly learned to speak greek! The project recently failed because of politics and greed and the chamaeleons are now all exterminated :(

Two unforgettale moments of my life:
Picking cloudberries in the fields of a hidden mountain in northern Sweden and, above the Polar circle in Sweden, watching and listening to the undescribeable Northern Lights! Absolutely mind-blowing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make fortune flowers :)
I would very much like to learn to sing a new song or how to make beautiful flowers and other decoration from food.
Right now I'm really into dancing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A calm stay, a nice moment in front of the fireplace, a good nights sleep, breakfast. Eventually other meals depending on when you wish to arrive.
