About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn everything! Go everywhere! Be awesome!
ABOUT ME
I'm Swedish but was born and raised in Tokyo, left Japan at age 19, lived in England for three years studying psychology, Sweden for one year, then I lived in Buenos Aires for a year, and now I'm in Oxford, England, doing a Master's in psychology. I'm pretty sure wanderlust flows through my veins!
Right now I'm just trying to experience as much of life as possible and widen my horizons, accepting that maybe life doesn't always go to plan. I think I'm pretty friendly and easy to get along with, and I love to meet new people :)
PHILOSOPHY
Make mistakes faster!
"Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise." - Margaret Atwood

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: I have pretty weird taste in movies; I mainly love documentaries and musicals, strange as that may sound. A few of my favourite films include The Lives of Others, Rope, Raise the Red Lantern, Silence of the Lambs, Persepolis, Kill Bill, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Alien.
Music: Coeur de Pirate, Cake, Coconut Records, Interpol, Kumbia Queers, Moving Units, Jose Gonzalez, Brandi Carlile, First Aid Kit, Metric, Antony and the Johnsons, and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Books: I almost exclusively read non-fiction, but I really love Margaret Atwood and Jeanette Winterson. Lately I've been trying to read Pablo Neruda.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Going to Lebanon was amazing. My year in Argentina was also amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
I play the guitar, speak Swedish, and know a few things about psychology and the countries I've lived in. I'd also love to share cooking and baking tips and recipes.
I want to learn about EVERYTHING. Whatever you're passionate about, I'd love for you to share with me.
