About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying, currently doing Philosophy studies, but might transition into behavioural science, cognition, or neuroscience eventually.

ABOUT ME

I´m a 22 years old cheerful, lifebreathing musician from a small city in the middle of Sweden. I love travelling, but am currently stationed in Stockholm for studies, occasionally taking shorter trips abroad for new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

During the past couple of years of travelling I've found my own serenity, which means that nowadays I'm more inclined to spend the evenings reading a good book than being out meeting people, although I love that kind of thing too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in New York and Toronto for about a week each. These guys were both amazing and I had the most positive first experiences, couldn't ask for better people really.

Interests

My key interests are music, books, photography/movies and travelling (as it is for the moment). I´m a "going with the flow" kind of person that loves to keep things spontanious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came back in october from a 6,5 month journey across the American continent, starting up in Montreal and ending up in Peru.

From this trip there are a bunch of amazing and funny little anecdotes to share, but it's the overall experience that really did count.

For roughly a month I worked on a farm/shamanic retreat in the Amazon of Peru. A guy from England who I found through workaway was working with building a center for plant medicine, training to become a shaman himself, while helping this village where it all was settled which had 10 houses and 40 people that were all drinking water from the muddy river and basically eating fruits and rice. It was the most amazing experience being in such a rural place in the complete jungle, experiencing shamanic ceremonies, working with my hands, and helping these amazing villagers better up their life standards.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Panama, Peru, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, United States
