Overview
About Me
I would describe myself a very open-minded, relaxed person, who does not take life too seriously. Usually I'm very spontaneous and don't like to plan too much for trips.
As I just moved to Sweden to study, my life got a bit more grounded and I can host more!
My main travelling phase will be in the summer though, the more I get to work during the year, the longer I'll be away for.
Please only write me if you have a host request or if you have questions about the area. I block everybody who just wants to text. I'm not available to meet up otherwise. Sometimes I go to the couchsurfing meetings, you can check them out and hang out with people there.
Thank you!!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love the idea of sharing resources instead of consuming and buying new things all the time - which is why i love the couchsurfing concept.
What inspired me to download "Couchsurfing" were the street musicians in Barcelona. Two of my friends and I met a couple of very talented street musicians. They welcomed us into their squat and let us stay there for a few days. We have been friends ever since and visit them every year. Even though they have such hard lives they are always so welcoming and friendly. The love and warmth we received from them was totally mind blowing and my best friend is actually happily married to one of them now and has a baby on the way!
With the years I realised that the bigger part of travelling is the people you meet, not the places you visit. I love hanging out in local bars, meeting with friends friends, hearing local bands play in live music pubs..
Interests
Salsa (admittedly watching other people works better than doing it on my own)
Photography (I know the basics as my dad's a photographer, but never did it as much as I want to)
I've recently started yoga and am really enjoying it, so anybody who wants to do yoga together, I'm down :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Criss-cross in all directions. I'm a bit of an oldies fan - Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, but also all sorts of funky jazzy sounds, a good soul song always gets me excited, such as Sam Cook - but I can definitely also go Alt J, Kings of Leon and many more. Techno lover on occasions, when there is some groove to it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sky Diving over the swiss alps
Teach, Learn, Share
I could talk German, French, English to you and want to learn spanish and swedish! I kind of missed the phase where the whole world learned how to surf, so that would also be nice to learn
