About Me

I from Sweden and currently live in Berlin and am exploring the city and its surroundings.

I have lived in Dominica , which is also called the nature Isle. It is a beautiful island with amazing views wherever you look. There, I enjoyed hiking, going to the beach, exploring the country and finding new favorite spots to hang out at with my friends. I'm also quite a homebody, so I love to just chill out at home. I love to experience nature and when I travel, this is high on my list of things to do.

Meeting up to chat about any of these locations/interests would be nice, just ping me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Several friends and acquaintances have told me about couch surfing and I think it is a great way to meet people in other countries when you are travelling, and also to be able to meet interesting people coming to my country.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love many different kinds of music, but may favorite genres include reggae and electronical music (esp melodic house). I love to watch movies. When I lived in Sweden I used to go to the yearly filmfestival in Gothenburg and endulge in the non commercial movies. This said, I don't mind the occasional Hollywood flick. Because of my pressing time schedule I don't get time to read a lot, but when I have time I prefer Dean Koontz type books or an easy beach pocket book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Dominica without having a job and managed to find several jobs within my field. I love working with environmental issues, although it can get frustrating to experience the slow progression. I moved because I wanted a change of scenery and I wanted to experience the island where I lived when I was little.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn new things and have good conversations about deep topics. But don't worry, I can be very simple too! :) I enjoy hanging out with people who are openminded, kind and funny.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very easy going person and sociable. If someone decides to host/meet with me I would be happy and also take the opportunity to learn as much about the country from them as I can.
