CURRENT MISSION Learn again and again to be hopefull about our world and future and act on it. Become friends with your own heart, stop being so fucking lazy and save yourself. I've lived allmost all my adult life in communities, it is cheaper, more ecological and more fun. Now I live with two - three room-mates in our flat.... and with about 50 more adults in our house, which is a very very very fine house. And there is always the mission to make my community a better place, not in our gården right now, - unfortunately, - but in keeping the books. PHILOSOPHY To make life more enjoyable for oneself and all surrounding. Be happy while finding solutions. Build a good strong defence against stress and consumerism. Find out who/how we would be in a healthy society and be it, work to get there. Yeah, - like that I am when I'm on top, otherwise I lie under my bed and eat choklad ;-)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Many years ago I couchsurfed in France on short notice, without a smart phone or much money but on crutches! Quite an adventure for a little old lady. :-) Hosting is fun, specially if there is time to do something together, to get help in the garden or a nice meal. Now I have some guests when I feel for it, more in summer, less in vinter. If you want to do me favours: - to tell me all about your travels or 'to let me' tell you my lifestory is not one of them. 😁 COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Some good hosting experiences: 59 Margret, Amsterdam 58 Zoë, Paris 57 Francesca, London 56 Mathias, Berlin 55 Kyrylo, Bangkok 54 Elisa, France 53 Luis and Natalie, Brasil 52 Rose, Nancy in France 51 Rosa Y, Copenhagen, China 50 Koki and Lei, Japan 49 Carina, Germany 48 Lucas and Ajay, Germany 47 Carla Kohler, Allgäu Germany 46 Alicia Best, Durham USA 45 Ayako, Sayama Japan 44 Saskia, Tübingen Deutschland 43 Liselotte, Dortmund Deutschland 42 Jean-Sebastien, France 41 Malina, Deutschland 40 Christophe, Ardèche France 39 Yu Kuan Yuan, Västerås 38 Vivian, Berlin 37 Aoka Kuda, Kawasaki Japan 36 Miglius and Elze, Vilnius Lithuania 35 Mei, Puchong, Malaysia 34 Cecilia, HongKong 33 Nils, Belgium 32 Burak and Silvia, Slovakia 31 Phard and Evi, Hungary (Ivory Coast and Greece) 30 Dominika and Jens, Polen 29 Martin, Oslo 28 Lina and friend, Lithuania & Norway 27 Parker, Alabama, USA 26 Sofie and friend, Danmark 25 Marcello, Anne, Germany 24 Gianluca, Italy/Germany 23 Anke and friend, Germany 22 Vincent, Elise and June, France 21 Romaine and friend, Switzerland 20 Zelma, Latvia 19 Dan, England 18 Julie and friend, France 17 Tabitha, USA 16 Alex, Annika and Edwin, Island 15 Soraya and friend, Germany 14 Kristof, Netherlands und Scott, USA 13 Filiz und whatshername, sorry :-), Schwaben 12 Emilie and Marine, France 11 Enrico, Switzerland and Franceska, Italy 10 Benny, Deutschland 09 Nawel, France 08 Joanna and Alan, Polen 07 Bernard and Isa-Lill, France 06 Nan Zhang, Oslo 05 Eddy, Wales 04 Kun, China, England 03 Katharina, Germany 02 Simone, Germany 01 Reinhilda and her daughters, Belgium And very nice surfing: 03 Jeff, Saint Raphael, France 02 Josette, Cagnes sur mer, France 01 Christine, LaPalud, France

One Amazing Thing I've Done
* We managed to buy our house (with 35 apartements) for 9 million skr, paying 100 skr each, that is 9 Euro per person, because of a new law and the activist who told us a bout it. * I lived in Berlin when the wall came down, a great summer in Mainzer Strasse * There was river in Mexico, close to Palenque/Yucatan with water like lightblue milk and a waterfall, so much air in the water like you are swimming in champagne, would like to go there one more time
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: Depends on the interest. Who wants to learn to knit anyway? I'm handy in any case and can set up your bookshelf for example and I'm a decent cook too, - or was until I lost all my homemakerly powers. I like mini workshops, like doing something together, masks or lamps or whatever. I can give Voice Dialog sesshions. Learn: I like to learn ballroom, never got around to it and balboa, argentinian tango, asian cooking... like to share idears on ecological transition in our lives.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Making good food, helping in what they need, showing a new perspektive to their town
My Interests
Siestas outside, - in the summer, in the shadow, in the grass. More or less bad fantasy books. Arts and Crafts, I love colours and textures, Rainbow Gatherings and hippie stuff, - I am not a traveller though! I like to learn new technics, in textiles, gardening, permaculture, - always something new. I'm interested in psychology, counsel-technics as Voice Dialog, RC, Talking Circels, Forumtheater, Process Work, stuff that keeps us happy, healthy and not too bored.
