ABOUT ME

I’m a creative, adventure-loving gal living alone in a small cabin in the arctic woods of Swedish Lapland. I have more dreams than time on Earth, but I do my best to make the most out of it.

Besides roaming the world to explore it's cultures and outdoor potential, travel and adventure photography is one of my greatest passions, which I've been blessed to be able make a living from for the past decade. I run my own business which takes me around the globe on different photo and film assignments, and apart from that I organize my own photography retreats for adventurous spirits in the wild.

In recent years the most fascinating travelling I've done has been in my internal world.

I thrive when lost in untamed, remote spaces and I’m often on the go with my camera, but feel free to flick me a message if you find yourself near Boden, Sweden and we’ll see if I may be able to host you!

Last-minute requests preferred (1 day up to a week in advance) :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in collecting memories rather than things, to pursue my passions and live my dreams. I don't want a never ending life, I just want to be truly alive while I'm here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To a large extent, travel to me is about the people I meet and the moments we create together. What we share and learn from each other. CS has helped me connect with countless inspiring, beautiful souls since I first joined in 2007, and it has wildly enriched my many years on the road.
