I am a 36-year-old Swedish girl from the province of Östergötland. I just moved to Norrköping from Åre in north Sweden, where I lived for a couple of years. I work as a teacher of Spanish and English. I have studied for five years at Linköping University to become an upper secondary school (senior high school) teacher of Spanish and English. My best friends would probably say that I am an open-minded person that is easy to get to know and who really likes to hang out with international friends. :)
I live with my dog Niña, a beautiful black Swedish Lapphund born in May 2016.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have surfed four couches! :)

I have also met some couchsurfers just to hang out and do things together.

I really have a passion for international exchange.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have had a great CouchSurfing experience! I surfed three couches during my trip to London, Dublin and Edinburgh, and one couch in Rome.

I have also met some couchsurfers just to hang out, and it has been really nice too! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. :)

Interests

One of my biggest interests is, without doubt, languages. I speak fluent Swedish, English and Spanish and also some German, Italian and French, and right now I am trying to learn some Northern Sami. I love cultural exchange and travelling! Another big interest for me is outdoor activities, like hiking, windsurfing, skiing, sailing, canoeing, snowboarding and so on. I really enjoy nature and wildlife. I also love dancing, especially the traditional Swedish folk dances but also more modern dances like salsa or any other dance that you dance with a partner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since I love being outdoors, I would of course say that so far nothing can compare with the Swedish archipelago on the east coast, where I have been sailing with my family every summer since I was born.
I have also had the pleasure of seeing the beauty of Lago di Garda (the Garda lake) in northern Italy, and would really like to go back to do some windsurfing there.
Another favourite travel memory is when I visited the national park of Similan Islands in Thailand. Sooo beautiful!
