Iam 53 years old and I am working in a Reggio Emilia preschool. I really love my work with small children. I live in the city of a small town in the south of Sweden called Kalmar. In Kalmar we live in a small house from the 1700th century. I also stay a lot in the island Oland in the nearby. There I live during the summer. My family at home is me and my daughter. I also have two grownup sons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have possibilities to go to other countries and be able to see them "in real". And also to meet people in my home. I just have three rooms but I hope it will be enough for a couple of people. I really would like to show my visitors this area of Sweden which is a very beautiful place on earth!
