I'm a culture person and like to hear about cool travel stories. Besides that, I like mangoes, salsa, green tea, dark chocolate, red m&m, unicorns, goats and lamas, colourful lamps, crossword puzzles, Zumba, Brugse Zot (beer), movies with Gael Garcia Bernal and messages in alliterations and rhyme. I am also a tour guide in Bruges for the Free Walking Tours and for Quasimundo Bike Tours. So I might be able to tell you one or two stories about my town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a place is through its people!

I have been on the couchsurfing website for a while with my roommate Sam. When we were both travelling at the same time, in different locations, I created my own profile.

Interests

Dancing, reading (*too many books too little time*), theater (did anyone say Shakespeare?) and travelling, of course.

Teach, Learn, Share

“Jasper Gwyn taught me that we aren't characters, we're stories (...) We are the whole story not just the character. We are the wood where he walks, the bad guy who cheats him, the mess around him, all the people who pass, the colour of things, the sounds.” - Alessandro Baricco

"När vi gick vidare utmed stranden frågade han vänligt vad jag ville med livet. Jag tvekade lite och svarade: Kärlek. Kanske att vara trygg? (...) Och att resa, tillade jag. Jag har en sån lust att få resa." -Tove Jansson
