About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just finished the first year of my Master's at Stockholm University, with one more year to go before I'm fit for working life. This possibly being the last summer I'm relatively free to do what I want, I've chosen to do a couple of summer courses abroad, thereby being able to explore the world while simultaneously preparing for being an awesome city planner, which is the subject of my studies.

For me travelling is all about meeting interesting new people, broadening my perspective on life and getting inspired... And good food, drinks and enjoying all the gorgeous natural phenomenons out there of course!

ABOUT ME

Curious, easy-going and philosophical.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to always say yes to trying new things and is constantly searching for ways to become a better person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was a couple of years ago in Barcelona, Spain, where I lived for five days with a bunch of south american guys who were just the best. So kind, welcoming and I had SUCH a great time with them! After that I was hooked on couchsurfing and did it a lot last summer while touring Western US. The experiences I've had from couchsurfing has been so good I don't even know how to begin to describe how grateful I am to this network. As soon as I find decent accommodation somewhere (I am currently living in a shared apartment) I will retribute!

Interests

In my every day life I spend a lot of time in cafés with friends, exercising or doing whatever social activity I've come to think of on that particular day! When travelling I like exploring nature as well as big cities, but maybe natural phenomenons are what impresses me most. But of course, none of that would matter if it wasn't for the company of other great people.

And I love food. Cooking, eating... Love it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am somewhat of a movie-holic, although sometimes nothing can beat a really good book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I ever did was to spend three months in Ghana. There are no words to discribe how much it changed me (to the better) and how much I loved it there.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you guys wanna learn swedish or french or maybe geography or whatever, I guess I could be of help! but my only real specialty is whistling..
