About Me

Hey surfers! I'm a curious person with a positive mindset! I was newborn through feminism, music has always helped me, I learn best through people and love to get inspired by my travels. I love to sing, I cook fantastic vegan stews, I write whenever I feel inspired and are fighting to become a better photographer!

Right now I am living in the tiny town of Fårösund at Gotland studying creative writing. A beautiful island on the east coast of Sweden. I live in a student room and won't be able to host but would love to meet up anyone who pass by 😜

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and find couchsurfing to be one of the most groundbreaking opportunities to meet cool people and also to be able to stay at unexpected places!

My experience of couchsurfing is not that extended if that's the way to put it but I am really stoked to learn more about it and get to know people through this community! I mean, once I ended up at a painter's house (the woman who hosted me) who ate chocolate fondue with me in the middle of the night and another time I climbed trees for cherries with a surfer whom I hosted. Loving that!

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything from the 1960's soul and rock scene, to 90's Swedish punk era and Icelandic feminist hip hop of 2017. Music has a big room in my heart 💖

Shantaram, On the Road and Into the wild were some of my favourite travel stories, but the biographies that I really loved were Scar Tissue, Just Kids, Mao's last dancer, In order to live and Wild Swans.

My favourite movie /series are Her, Into the wild, Juno, Harry Potter, Narnia, Avatar, Amelie from Montmarte, LOTR, OITNB and Skam to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Soo... "That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind", right?
When I caught my first "real wave" (not white water) in Biarritz a summer.. I fell in love with surfing at that moment. Did not get rid of that superstoked grin on my face for days, haha...
Nothing impressive for a good surfer but it was a huuuge deal for me!
