About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To treat others as I myself want to be treated.

ABOUT ME

I am curious, considerate and persistent. Constantly working on myself, trying to unravel the mystery of existing, interacting and developing. I have a hunch that this might come in handy socializing with others, but I´m not sure... :-)
Food is crucial, regular nutrition, preferably delicious.
I´m at my best while repairing something, or constructing, or rebuilding, solving problems.
I am actually very outgoing and usually offers my help to anyone that I can. This has led to the point of exhaustion and for several years I have practiced integrity, awareness and the most delicate art of prioritizing.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live life as true as possible. I live my life for there is far too much to miss if I would not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfers are more than welcome to visit our couch/ extra comfy spare mattress.
Hotels make me nervous, they are so professional and distanced. I travel because I want to live the experience, staying at someones couch will let me be myself in the ongoing events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Both surfing and hosting experiences has been good!

Interests

My time is spent dancing, swedish folk dances and the Lindy Hop, repairing the perfect bicycle and learning new things about life, other people and everything.
This includes knitting, tending to the plants, spending time with dear friends and new and smart ways to live my life, among everything else.
That is to say, when not working. Witch I do quite a lot. And I actually like it, it pays the rent and gives me good routines. Apart from the heartwarming fact that I have the privilege to give this amazingly lifeembracing creature a worthy existence.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of movies, there are some favourites but I am open to new impressions.
The music running is that wich I dance to, folk music, swing and a little bit of this and that.
Whenever I choose a book for myself it usually turns out to be a detective story but I very much enjoy having a book thrust into my hands and experience what others appreciate. Under any circumstances any book is better than none.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The tiny wild orchids of Sweden makes me travel 400 km every year the week before midsummer. I wouldn´t miss it for the world!
The warm and fulfilling atmosphere between people in harmony tends to linger when experienced. Thankfully it takes place every now and then :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m sure I have plenty to teach, as I am quite skilled ;-)
But! Only to the right person and at the right time.
That goes for the other way around as well.
There is so much to learn in this world, but each matter has its own time and place.
So... Timing would be what I most of all would like to learn. :-)
