About Me

I´m born in 1990, so as of 2016 I´m 26 years old. I am currently a student and my major is in political science. I have studied two semesters abroad, one in Chicago and one in Akita, Japan. I have also been in Ghana, Africa as a volunteer for three months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people around the world and try to get out of the comfort zone that is hostels and hotels. It´s a great way to experience a new culture and see places that would otherwise be lost as a regular tourist. It´s also more healthy for your wallet, that tends to be all too thin as a student :)

Interests

I love traveling and experience new cultures. When traveling I like visiting museums, local restaurants, amusement parks, partying. I like to vary my experiences, so that you experience both the nightlife and daylife of your destination.

Music, Movies, and Books

Coldplay, Muse, Young the Giant, Keane, Mumford and Sons,

Truman show, Matrix, The Constant Gardener, Watchmen, Into the wild,

Animal Farm, 1984, Harry Potter (or used to when I was younger), The Da Vinci Code,
