About Me

CURRENT MISSION

LIVE! :D every day as it comes. I figure life is to short to spend on trivial things, so I mostly just enjoy myself as much I can in every situation.

ABOUT ME

I´m a spontaneous, fun-loving, sometimes crazy, sometimes relaxed, arty and happy swede who realized somewhere down the line that life is for one thing - living! So that´s what I´m doing right now. I´ve been traveling almost non-stop for a year and probably will keep on doing it for the rest of my life.

I love art, politics, psychology, technology, science, weird facts and crazy things, but most of all, meeting new people. I enjoy caring, friendly, fun, crazy, happy and giving people, who are always open to new experiences and perspectives on life.

I guess we call them openminded and couchsurfers... :)

PHILOSOPHY

... tattooed on my wrist:D
I live by the day, do not dwell too much in the past, or worry too much about the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and I host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked and traveled through Europe for 6 months without spending any money.
