About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To forget about missions

ABOUT ME

I am a creative person who likes to get to know other creative, openminded people and gather together with my loved ones. I teach Spanish and love learning new languages and through them about cultures and habits.
I have been travelling in Europe and I have lived for a while in Mexico and Argentina, studying and working with street yougsters.
I can´t stop knitting you can even spot me in a disco with my knittings. I love spicy food and a part of me is left back in Mexico because of that:)
I am also interested in ecological issues and try to contibute some time to some NGO´s and projects every now and then. I am mostly vegetarian but I eat some fish. I have a lovely husband and daughter. Families with children are also welcome!

PHILOSOPHY

Openminded and openhearted wandering and wondering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sometimes we are working so much or travelling so we can´t host. We have gotten to know some very special interesting people through visiting them and them visiting us.

Interests

Handicrafts, little adventures every day, history, ecological issues, Spanish (and all the cultures of different Spanish speaking regions), teaching and pedagogics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big Melissa Auf der Maur fan. My music taste is a little stuck on 90s alternative, but I’m open for musical experiences, gigs, concerts, dancing.
I love Astrid Lindgrens books and stories and childrens literature in general. Isabel Allende y realismo mágico. So many books, so many movies...and so bad memory for the names...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the walks and talks, words and understandings shared, I think they are amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to learn the subjuntivo? Haha, I can teach Spanish or some tricks at handicrafts maybe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel experiences, language skills, just being a good person helping one another when needed. Sharing and caring, laughing, cooking...

Countries I’ve Visited

Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, Finland, Mexico
