CURRENT MISSION

Connecting

ABOUT ME

Human being, with all the faults, desires, bagage, emotions, successes and general twistedness that entails. Grasping with the role of our species. Strive for non-violence, both in actions, thoughts and words. Vegetarian. A blend of Swedish and Greek influences has rendered me a 'northern mediterranean' (born in the first, 3rd of my life in the second). Yogini. Political scientist. Love languages. Trying to connect - me, others, the planet, and particularly my international diplomacy/security world with the influences from the yogic community.

PHILOSOPHY

'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so free that your very existence is an act of rebellion' Albert Camus

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just became a member after hearing so many positive things from so many people about this CS-thing, so haven't gotten around to participating yet. Since I live in a student dorm, kinda hard to host someone at the moment, hoping to participate in meetings and of course host in the future!

Interests

Yoga. The State of the World. Running. Love. Nature. Human/international security. Community building. Social innovation. Literature. Writing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Become a god mother. (Yes, sooooo sentimental, I know!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I love languages, I realise that perhaps there aren't too many of you out there in Moscow wanting to learn Swedish... but my English is at native speaker's level, so if anybody wants help with their English in exchange for listening to my attempts at Russian, would be more than pleased.
