About Me

I am an easy-going, curious and adventure-seeking student currently living in Stockholm (Sweden).

I study English and History and in my spare time like to train and climb. Other then that I spend time with family and friends when I'm not working part-time, studying or trying to earn enough money to travel all over the world and meet new people and see new things :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I think it seems like an amazing way to have a unique experience both living in a different way and also being able to meet people and share cultures and stories.

Interests

I enjoy discussions and new information about almost everything. I love understanding something or seeing it in a new light, from AI to genetic manipulation or something as simple as why a certain spice makes food taste better.

I enjoy training and recently have started to enjoy indoors-climbing which is really fun. Also of course meeting people, dancing and seeing new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dont really know what amazing things I've done. One person's amazing is another person's everyday life so I find it a bit pretentious. But some things that I've done recently and felt that they were really memorable to me were:

Traveling in Thailand, trained thai-boxing in a gym way out in the middle of no-where. Very surreal. Had an amazing new years on a skyskraper and got to see the entire city of bangkok have one massive party. Had such a good trip with super cool people, saw palaces, 1000 year old buildings, and indigenous tribes living in the mountains.

Living in England and was able to study in a magnificent university. Traveled all over England, Scottland and Ireland and learnt alot about living in another country as well as meeting tons of other students from all over the world.

Having school placements, it was super difficult and honestly a little terrifying having classes of between 10-25 students and having lectures with them. It really made me feel great when I felt that it was something I could handle and managed to help others learn :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, my subjects English and to some extent history (I'm still not done with my education).

Some basic martial arts, dancing a bit of lindyhop and salsa, indoors-climbing and....

I guess just whatever you can ask me and actually learn something from if you feel like it :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well besides odd fun-facts about the city I live in not that much right now. I was living in a large 3-room apartment before but am now moving to student-accomodation. But you're more the welcome to borrow my room and I would live with friends or family.

Countries I’ve Lived In

England, India, Norway, Spain, Sweden
