About Me

I´m a visual artist who lives and works in Göteborg. I did my Masters in Fine Arts at Umea University in Sweden and graduated in 2007. I´m a professional artist and the last years I´ve been focusing on matters of nature, global environmental problems and the concept of “The Anthopocene”. I enjoy to collaborate with other artists, and my next aim is to do a Phd in Fine Arts.
I´m a down-to-earth kind of person who enjoys the subtle things in life, loves to have one-on-one deep conversations, cooking good meals or going exploring in nature. As I am an INTJ personality, I don´t like too much impressions because I take in a lot and then need to process it. Let´s say I don´t enjoy big loud parties for example.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love this way of meeting people, it´s so meaningful compared to just be another tourist.
My prior surfing experience: I been in Mumbai for a really nice stay. Our host was so helpful and generous, I was truly amazed! It was inspiring and I made a good and lasting friend.
On another occasion, I also stayed with a lovely couple in Cochin, India. Lots to talk about and we made some interesting trips as well.
I haven´t hosted much myself yet, due to living in unpopular places, or because I haven´t been able. But I really want to share my home as well when I can!
