About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Move to Dublin and study photography
ABOUT ME
Independent, curious, caring and a bit shy at times. I'm a music nerd, photography student, meditator, traveler, vegetarian, party animal, lover.
PHILOSOPHY
"The thought manifests as the word,
the word manifests as the deed,
the deed develops into habit,
and habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its way with care,
and let it spring from love
- born out of concern for all beings."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Not really hosting at the moment, but will soon enough. I can still help out though, with questions about Galway!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The little experience I have had has been very good and interesting - lovely to meet people and share stories:)
Interests
I enjoy a lot of things. Art in many forms; dancing, photography, writing and reading, watching movies,listening to music. I like science and problem solving. I enjoy giving healing massages, having meaningful conversations, being silent and observant,/ drinking herbal teas, or why not wine and dance my mind away until early mornings - I enjoy a good party:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and writing. Read a lot of Swedish writers that is no point to mention here...Zadie Smith,Herman Hesse, dharma literature, photography and art books etc...
Like to watch movies; beautiful, meaningful, funny, thought provoking,inspiring, or just simple entertainment... for example; The Fall, Harald & Maude, Away we go, The fantastic Mr Fox, Happymorethankyouplease, Lost in translation, Om jag vänder mig om.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I´ve been traveling on and off for 9 years. I´ve worked with horses in Ireland, made coffee in Edinburgh, been riding camels in Sahara, done yoga on the beaches in Thailand, studied buddhism in Himalya, fed dogs in Rishikesh, watched people in Bangladesh, roamed around in the city of Kafka, worked on organic farms in Spain and Italy, gotten engaged in New York City...and the best thing of all: I loved every minute on my travels, I learned a lot and seen the most amazing things! But I realized, sitting still in the forest just listening, to the sounds, to the silence, to yourself, breathing in, breathing out.. is all you really need to be happy.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a massage therapist so I can a relaxing massage, maybe a bit of ear acupuncture, give guided meditations and maybe teach some yoga (haven't done it for years though!), I can listen and support you the best I can in whatever situation you are in.
And there is a lot that I can learn from you, and that we can share!
