About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be all that I can be.. Never be afraid of living and taking chances.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, to laugh, to share moments and create new memories with people all across the planet. But as much as I love to travel I really enjoy my lovely house and garden, where I can breathe and feel at ease.

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn´t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has given me so much I wouldn't have space to tell it all. I've met the most amazing people who has given, shared, contributed, laughed, helped out and just being wonderful. I have seen new places, been sky-diving, hiking, met friends of friends - just as nice all of them, met love, met everlasting friendship. I havn't for one minute regretted that I joined this community many years ago and I'm looking forward to new experiences whitin this big loving family of couchsurfers.

Interests

I'm interested in traveling around Sweden and the rest of the world, taking care of my house and my garden, cooking and baking jummie food, wine, music, theatre and movies, sports, being out in nature, I adore all kinds of pets and of course I love spending time with family and friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like house music and latino rhythm because I love to dance. I enjoy listning to metal and hard rock. Bruce Springsteen to at least mention one favourit artist.

Boondock Saint's, T2 (Cameron makes good movies over all), Batman 1-2-3. A bit of action, a bit of drama, and sometimes a bit of war and grief.

Favourite author: Paulo Coelho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was truly amazing to dive in the great barrier reef!
Sky-diving in NZ is something I'll never forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to try wind surfing, climbing and other cool sports. I love to bake and cook and would love to learn more about traditional food from different countries. I would like to learn more languages. I like to learn and explore, almost anything I don't already know is interesting!

I guess it's hard to mention your own qualities, but I can teach you how to make wonderful Swedish meatballs! I know a bit about Swedish history and I can be a guide and show my bit of the world. I know some sports and if you want to exercice on your trip I can be your cycle class teacher or even a running mate if you like to. Depending on which season you're coming we can either pick berrys, go swimming or play in the snow.
