I am a urban researcher working at the a university in Turku, Finland.

I am part of a language minority of Swedish speakers in Finland. A member of CISV since I was 10, I´ve learned to value cultural diversity and participated and worked as staff on international camps for young people. I practice the art of listening, talking and breathing (meditation). I also love cooking good food, mostly vegetarian (with the exeption of fish and eggs now and then). For most part of my life I have lived with other people and I like to believe that I am well tuned to everything that comes with that (cleaning, respecting others etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The values associated with coushsurfing has always resonated with me. I´m enjoy meeting new people and learn new things.

Interests

I am interested in most things, apart from light entertainment. I guess novelty in itself is an interest for me. I enjoy exploring new music, art, games, places, people etc.
