About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Saving the world, a litte bit...

ABOUT ME

I don't really know what to make of this space, but I I´d like to share a poem about myself, written seven years ago, but still accurate:

Devil in converse,
sneaky enough to sneak a peak.
Scribble a little,
makes a mess.
Tea and a cookie,
with you in the middle.
Milk and honey for me,
living is the way to be.

Furthermore, I love to meet people that can learn from, discuss with and experience alongside. I try to always keep an open perspective and take one day at the time, in order to enjoy every single second of being alive.

I do love to write, read, paint and over all, learn about other peoples ways of live. To see, hear and experience other people, lifestyles and thoughts are most likely the best thing I know.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in producing more then you consume, both materially and mentally. I want to live a simple life and enjoy each day as it passes by, in its own chosen pace.

I feel humble and enthusiastic to have been born in to this world, this earth, where there is so much to do and see. I feel as if I am living in a never ending adventure.

Since I love to create I consider myself free to shape my life the way i prefer to have it, using what happens to be in front of me at the moment. This way, all my mistakes will be my own and my progress will belong to everyone, since I wish to give of what I have to everyone willing to spend a bit of time with me. Mutual understanding and sharing experiences are activities I treasure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the time I live with my family of eight, and we are utterly crowded. Hopefully I can offer my couch (that I do not yet have) to fellow surfers. I visualize myself literally running to the nearest second hand and bying a couch the moment I get my own place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Denmark, Copenhagen in 2010.
Surfed in Germany, berlin in 2011
Surfed in Portugal, Porto, in 2011

Also I have managed to host and guide couch surfers off record simply by running into them while they experience Stockholm.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I have a bad habit of watching Pretty Woman every time I get sick. But otherwise, I rarely watch movies.

Music: Mostly all kinds of soft and chill music. Occasionally a bit of db and similar music, and maybe just a bit of rock n´roll.

Authors: P.A. Fogelstrom, J. Jonasson, A. Levia, N. Hornby, R. Jordan, J. Guillou, D. Lessing, N. Gaiman, McCourt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once accidentally fell into a sewer... I've showered several times since - word of honor!

When I became a teacher I found a new kind of love, love for life and humanity.

Teach, Learn, Share

I prefer the people I meet to have made up their own opinion about whatever it is we will come to talk about. Educated or raised by the streets does not matter to me, as long as the person is a thinking and evolving human being, knowing her own limit in being only one person. I believe that; the wise is she who sees her own ignorance. To do so one have to be humble and insightful.
