About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moved to California, USA. Trying to become a nurse here.

ABOUT ME

Hmm..all about me...looong story! =) I was born and raised in Borås, a medium size city close to Gothenburg. I lived here til I was 22 years old, then I moved way up north in Sweden to study and become a nurse. I started out working with oncology patients and now I work with neonatal care, premature born babies and sick newborns. I love working with people and my job has made me grow in so many ways.

How would people describe me? A calm but yet extremely restless spirit, who loves to try out new things. There's so much to do in life and so little time! =) I'm proud to be an open minded person, that try hard not to judge anyone. Love to have deep conversations about life and hear the life stories of others.

I guess I've always been traveling since I was little, but together with my parents. Every year we took our caravan and spent 3-4 weeks driving through Europe. I really love traveling and experience new cultures and now it has come to that point where I have arranged my life so I can travel and be as free as possible. I don't really have a set place to live but stay with friends when in Sweden and whenever I need to work I go to Norway (as do all Swedes) and work as a nurse for a short but intense period which then enables me to travel more. =)

PHILOSOPHY

"No regrets. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience."

I live by the motto that you don't regret the things you do, but the things you didn't do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did couch surfing all around Ireland for almost 2 months and slept on 12 different couches and I don't have a single negative thing to say about couch surfing. The experiences I got from that, I couldn't have gotten anywhere else!

Also did couch surfing in New Zealand for about three weeks. From the south the the very north.

Interests

I love music and to dance, especially salsa, life wouldn't be the same without it.
Be creative in all sorts of ways.
Be out in nature.
