About Me

A girl somewhat lost in the world. Currently located in Jokkmokk, just north of the arctic circle in Sweden, after two years of driving around Europe in a van with my two dogs and partner. Enjoy working less and living more, but can't help to think lots and long about the future and when I'm gonna "cut my hair and get a job", as we say in Sweden.

Loves skiing and boarding, snow, hiking, just being outside really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for couches to surf and people to meet when I travel, and keeping my couch open when I'm home.

Interests

Things that interest me, in list-form (and no particular order (except for the dogs, which is an obvious first)):
- my dogs, dog training and dog agility
- hiking and just being outdoors
- snowboarding and skiing
- views. of towns, forests, anything. As long as you can get up high and watch it from there, I love it.
- horse riding
- photography
- beer
- maps. love maps. lov'em!

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favourite is Pirates of the Caribbean. Loved it the first time a saw it, when I was 11 and have watched it about 100 times or more since then. If I'm not watching Pirates I'm probably watching something else I've already seen before.

I hardly listen to anything but swedish music, except for my favourite band in the world, mumford&sons. Music is one of the most important things in my life and I could not live without it, for sure.

Don't read as much as I should and when I do it just happens to be Harry Potter almost every single time..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent three months of 2013 in Wales, UK, working on a sheep farm and herding with my sheep dogs. That was without a doubt the best thing I've done in life!

The past two years I've been living in a Mercedes Sprinter van with Tommy and the dogs, traveling around Europe, but spending most of our time in the Alps skiing and boarding.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about dog training an photography, and I want to learn about everything!

I can also teach about my country, "IKEA land", Sweden, and all the funny things we Swedes do, like eating crays every fall.

I wanna learn everything that gets me points in Trivial Persuit!

Oh, and I wanna learn welsh, but guess a few nights of couch surfing won't be enough to get the hang of that amazing language.
