About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a labrat ie researcher in molecular biology and I love my work :) Grew up and went to Uni in Umeå and have since spent a few years working 'down under' in Melbourne.

I'm curious, open-minded, honest, not the fittest person around, but I do like exploring the nature around me. I love to travel and I contracted the travel bug after High School when I went InterRailing in Europe for one month and now I always have at least one trip planned to look forward to!

PHILOSOPHY

no regrets

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet new people over coffee or food or just to talk.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies: sci-fi and fantasy, I'll see any stupid flick in this genre and generally enjoy it! Also a big fan of thrillers, dramas and really anything on the big screen :) Gave up TV when I arrived in Melbourne, so completely out of date there...
music: just about anything with a good beat and understandable lyrix. Love Melbourne and the many gigs I can go to! Love musicals, although they are expensive...
books: sci-fi and fantasy is what I'm reading these days...and the odd Swedish book for the Swedish book club I belong to.
