Hejsan! I'm not very good at introducing myself, but I'll give it a try! ;) My name is Irene, I'm 20 years old and currently living in the beautiful city of Malmö. At the moment I'm studying International Relations and enjoying the good life. I'm often told I'm a bit of a dreamer, which is probably true. ;) I love adventures, making new friends and exploring this wonderful world. You're always welcome to send me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, Couchsurfing seems like an amazing opportunity to make new friends and to catch a glimpse of local life elsewhere in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I was actually hoping I would get an opportunity to tell you about my favourite books and music, but I come up empty. There are so many books and songs that I love, and don't even get me started on movies or TV-shows. Seriously, don't. However, since I want to make a good impression, I'll summarise. I read a lot of fantasy and contemporary fiction, and absolutely adore historical novels. When it comes to music, I'll listen to anything. Well, almost anything. I guess my favourite TV-shows are crime, adventure and fantasy series. With a dash of horror, of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking a gap year and traveling/working for several months was definitely an amazing opportunity. I'm looking forward to my future adventures!

Teach, Learn, Share

As a born Dutchie, I would be more than happy to teach you some Dutch or to share some of my favourite recipes. I enjoy cooking, and have to say that my pancakes are actually not too bad. ;) Apart from that, I would love to show you around Malmö or learn a thing or two about your culture.
