About Me

CURRENT MISSION

From the Arctic Circle to Italy, and back! We are two island souls touring Europe in a van with our cat Solen.

My husband, Joshua and I have been based in the Swedish arctic for over 3 years now. Missing warmth and meeting diverse cultures, so we are on a mission to meet up with family in Italy.

ABOUT ME
Scandinavian Islander. I am a cultural mix of Sweden and Bermuda.
I am a passionate artist, exploring my creative expression.
I am a vegetable farmer with a deep love for earth.
I love bodies of water to submerge and cleanse.
I enjoy movement and unconventional strength training.

ABOUT the CAT
Solen aka the Lion Prince is our seasoned adventure buddy. He’s a Norwegian forest cat mix with 7 toes and a lot of personality. He’s a big snuggler who will remove any rodent nearby. He likes people and exploring. He loves to people watch in cities and roll around on a beach. He’s an excellent tree climber. His own great adventure was leaving into the forest to then walk in the door 5 months later and demand dinner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet warm hearted people and grow a community. I love to experience locations like a local and learn about their ways of living.

We can comfortably sleep in our van. I would like a place for Solen to be protected and safe while we tour cities and in busier areas. In Sweden he is primarily an outside cat, but in less nature filled areas or if the sun is too intense, he may need some support.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggae soothes the soul.
Reading any sort of philosophy, self help or biography.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always excited to learn new artistry.
Happy to share breathwork sessions and movement coaching. Are you interested in ice bathing?

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are a dynamic duo of chef, cleaner & health coaching. More than happy to cook a family meal along with folding a basket of laundry. Would you be interested in a breathwork session or some movement & primal play? All we ask is for a place for Solen to rest from the sun, and possibly a warm shower.
