Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This has been one of the greatest things I have ever done. I have met amazing people from all over the world, many of them I am still in touch with. It has been a great way to learn about other cultures and world attitudes and to see the differences and commonalities between nations. I have hosted many travellers and have had nothing but positive experiences.

Interests

I like to read a variety of books, historical fiction, spiritual, political, history. I love to garden, and grow vegetables in my backyard. I like foreign movies. I am involved in the Swedish club in my city and am interested in geneology. I love to cook and bake. I enjoy travelling and learning new things, exploring different cultures and places. I consider myself a life long learner. I am interested in politics and the environment, would one day like to live off grid in the country. I took up painting a few years ago, but would like to do it more, acrylic and water painting.
