About Me

CURRENT MISSION

working at MPI Nijmegen

ABOUT ME

I live with my boyfriend Sebastian in an apartment in the suburbs of Stockholm. We enjoy having interesting people over.

I'm very enthusiastic about linguistics.

I enjoy short walks on the beach if it's not too hot, too cold, too sunny, too cloudy, too windy, or too still.

I'm optimistic in the true and slightly irritating way sense of the word. I get really excited about "small" things like seriously good music, how amazing the internet/all technology is, how an author writes or some kick ass piece of art.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't panic.

The thing is, it isn't so hard.

Just pay attention to the people around you and how they feel. Compromise and adjust yourself so that we can all get along, but also make sure you don't do things you don't want to, there's always limits.
Don't take on to many things, don't stay passive.

And don' get caught in boring formal relationships.

Have fun, whenever, where-ever, however and with whoever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted lots of people now and I have routines that work. One time there was 5 swiss people and 4 dutch the same night, that was fun ^^! I like having nice people at my house and so far I've never been dissapointed.
Current record in this apartment is ten polish people + 3 hosts.

I have not been a CS-guest myself yet since I've traveled to visit my family and friends ever since I started doing this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a lot ever since I was a child. I can't think of one event that was extraordinarily amazing..

The memories you treasure the most are never visiting the Taj Mahal, Niagra falls or something like that.

Truth is what I enjoy most is eating well, having brilliant conversations and mild weather. I've experienced that in Indonesia, India, Germany, England, Canada, USA, Norway, Thailand, Cambodia, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece etc.

It doesn't really matter where you are, that's the beauty of it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that young sloths are so inept that the frequently grab their own arms and legs instead of tree limbs and therefore fall out of trees?

Countries I’ve Visited
