About Me

I love taking pictures with really old cameras, but also to record sounds for my sound library, and watching movies. Sounds and film, those are two of my favourite interest and hopefully what I will study this fall at Stockholm Film School. I have made short documentaries for the Swedish Red Cross, both in Sweden and in Uganda. I've been a vegetarian for the last seven years - and I make an excellent hummus, which I happily prove to everyone I'll meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've only got good things to say about CS. The people I've met through CS have been more then kind to me and after a short while, felt like good close friends of mine.

Interests

I love music, sounds, analog photography and movies, but also table tennis, Laserdiscs and STAR WARS!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love too meet interesting people who will share their lives and knowledge about their exiting cities and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will make my famous Swedish chocolate balls, so we can have a traditional Swedish "fika". And also how you can transform your bathroom to develop your own analog film. =)
