About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning the skills of a university teacher.

ABOUT ME
Please respect that I am only open to host women and couples/families.

I am a Swedish girl from the capital Stockholm who loves to travel, meet new people and get acquainted with different cultures, languages and customs. I have lived abroad in Turkey, the Netherlands, Italy and Canada. In the future I would love to visit Australia, New Zealand, Tanzania, Japan and travel route 66 in America. My native tongue is Swedish and I am fluent in English. Thereafter I speak some Turkish and Italian, and understands quite some German.

PHILOSOPHY

Minimalism over materialism, travel to learn about locals and myself over all inclusive trips and focus on self-development and own responsibility over hoping for others to change/being accountable.

Series; Sex & the city, Dawson's creek, Girls, the Affair, Squid Game, Handmaids tale, Bron, Shtizel, Ethos (Bir Başkadır) to mention some.
Books; I used to be a Harry Potter fan, nowadays I read more "grown up" books like the Handmaids tale.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My time living abroad. If you have the opportunity- go and live abroad. It doesnt matter which place, but make it last at least a couple of months. The time abroad have made me look at things from different perspectives and become more humble towards life.

Teach, Learn, Share

In Sweden we like to "fika". It basically means meet for a cup of coffee/tea and chat. My personal favorite fika is a cafe latte with a chocolate ball.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Show you around in Stockholm, make you try typical Swedish food and drinks.
Please respect that I am only open to host women, couples/families.
