CURRENT MISSION

To live happily ever after with myself, my family and the rest of the world

ABOUT ME

I like to meet new people. I love to travel, and I really want to improve the languages I've tried to learn and also learn more in other languages. I like to try new things. I enjoy nature and animals a lot, both wild and tame. I want to introduce the whole world to my kids and make them curious, creative, strong and wise. Just like Pippi Longstocking. Therefore I like to meet other families.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I look for CS experiences and tell people about the network and its ideas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I and my family have happily couchsurfed in Sweden, Norway, Germany, Costa Rica and Latvia, and we have hosted CS guests from Germany, Hongkong, Italy, Peru, Spain, Hungary and France through this network. But I've also experienced "CouchSurfing" before it was invented, travelling all over the world... I've found hospitality and new friends, and I try to give it back when I get the opportunity.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh there are so many experiences, I can't choose... Paragliding over the Swedish south coastline. Sailing in the Greek archipelago. Snorkelling with Manta rays in Australia. Scuba diving with turtles and sharks off Sipadan Island. Galloping in the snow with a horse steaming of joy. Flying a motor airplane. Saving the lives of many horses in great distress and blessed others with humane euthanasia in difficult situations. Giving birth to three children. Attending the births of three more kids as a doula, and also attending the adoption of one child from a continent far away. Lifetime memories... And so many more things....

Teach, Learn, Share

You can see my CS photo albums for traditions from my country Sweden, and another photo album for kids in other locations that wish to see some pictures of Swedish kids' life. This is from an idea from Margaret in Families Welcome group, the project Children of the World. I am interested to hear your and your kids' thoughts and questions on these pictures!
