Hi!

I'm Joanna. I was born in Sweden and have lived there for 21 years. I moved to California in 2014 for school. I graduated university last year. I worked as a content analyst at Google in Silicon Valley for one year. I'm currently pursuing my masters degree in Economics at Lund University in Sweden.

I have been travelling a lot since a very young age. I cannot remember all the countries I have been to so I'll most likely have to revisit some countries. I'm a very curious person thus, I love to explore new cuisines and new cultures . I have had the privilege to be introduced to a lot of different cultures at university. I have made a lot friends from around the world and I'm very thankful for that.

As you may notice from my profile (if you have taken your time to look at it), I'm very interested in the Asian culture. One of my dreams is to be able to live in Asia in the nearest future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I'm on Couchsurfing is because I want to meet people from all over the world. I want to have the opportunity to share my culture, my own experiences I've had from travelling and some language exchange! I also want to have the opportunity to hear some fun stories from your travel experiences!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I mostly enjoy listening to Hip Hop, Korean pop and piano music. However, I can listen to any type of music as long as the beat/melody is good.

Movies: I'm into horror movies, thrillers and actions. The only two romantic movies that I absolutely love are The Notebook and Love Actually. I also really enjoy watching Asian movies!

Books: I have read all the Harry Potter books twice. I have read them in Swedish so I want to read them in English now. Lately, I have been reading a lot of self development books. If you have any great recommendations, please let me know!
