About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well my mission was to finish medical school, and now that's done... So next I think it'll be to visit all continents. I'm left with Antarctica.

ABOUT ME

Spent 19 years of my life growing up in Stockholm, but after high school I realised I had gotten sick of the town. There are just so many other places to see :) So I went to Uganda and worked as a volunteer teaching assistant, teaching the kids how to read. An amazing but very tough experience. After that I continued to southern France to study French, and I've never had so much fun in my life! After that, i studied Spanish for a couple of months in Barcelona :) I'm now back in Stockholm, finished medical school and specializing in psychiatry.

PHILOSOPHY

If you follow someone else's footsteps, you'll never come first.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll show you around in Stockholm or wherever I'll be at the moment!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed for the first time myself the summer of '08. Had met lots of couchsurfers abroad and heard about friends experiences. Everyone seemed to love couchsurfing, so I tried it and I loved it too!

Interests

I love meeting new people and hearing about other people's experiences and cultures! That's why I travel so much :) I also like music, dancing, photography, movies, sports, art and reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

- My heart belongs to indie music, and all kinds of it. I like both rock music and singer/songwriter-kind of stuff... I've also grown up listening to hip hop and recently gotten more into EDM and reggae+reggaeton, so yeah, it's quite mixed haha.

- Favourite movies are everything made by Lars von Trier or Gus van Sant

- My favourite book is 1984, and i also love everything by Oscar Wilde, and the books by Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went riverrafting on the Nile!
Oh, and skydiving! And scuba diving!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Swedish, whatever you feel you need that for... ;)
I'll tell you stories from my travels in Africa, and the various countries in Europe I've visited. If you for some reason want to know stuff about how to paint houses, I'll teach you that too, since I've worked extra in a paint store for seven years...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some of my good mood and energy! Haha. And stories from my travels. And random medical advice. And Swedish cinnamon buns :)
