About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Without music, life would be a mistake..

ABOUT ME

Social and reflecting type of person. I like to paint, sing in a pop/rock choir, loooooove sudoku. Listen to good music mostly rock, grunge and alternative (Metallica, Rage against the Machine, Green Day) singer/songwriter (Ryan Adams, Damien Rice,), bands or singers with an agenda who use their fame for good (Pearl Jam, Ray Lamontagne, Springsteen). Grew up with parents listening to, and I still love and feel inspirayted by: the Who, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Status Q, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Gary Moore, Ry Cooder, Simon & Garfunkle, Tom Petty, Peter Gabriel, Genesis,...the list goes on and on. My older sister and role model got me into Nirvana, Gn'R, Iron Maiden, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden and for that I'm greatful. Other than music im a creative woman with a good sense of humor. Born philosopher with a restless soul.

Trivia: - I like to cook - I share my apartment with my two cornsnakes Abby & Ziva - whiskey! - I watch Walking Dead, Lucifer, IZombie, Fear the walking dead, Penny Dreadful, GoT and such.., - would not survive without my computer - I have designed my own tattoo - photograph a lot - get really excited when it comes to almost all kind of sport except bowling, biking, curling, pool and all forms of Motorsport - love heights - want to travel more - want's my licorice salty - fascinated in religion but not religious - I'll have my coffee black - am politically indecisive, but if you "vote Trump" your just ignorant....- I am pro choice - 95 % vegetarian - I support HBTQ.

If anything above would be or cause a concern...look for another couch.

PHILOSOPHY

Without music, life would be a mistake.
Sometime in a discussion you find people on you side of an argument that you wish were on the other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, guide or take people passing through out on a swedish fika.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only had good...no... VERY good experiences with CS. I believe the people who, first and foremost, dare to use CS is of a special kind. The CS-people seem to be more outgoing, positive, adventurous and strong believers in the good of mankind. And that about sums up CS for me, since I'm trying to be that kind of person too!

Interests

Music above all and all the time, movies if they have a point, meaning or is good by my standards ( im hard to please when it comes to movies) I photograph a lot and do some drawing when i get a picture in my head. Like to go to concerts. Love hights and would probably climb trees if it was socially accepted at the age of almost....oh my god..35!! Scratch that, i'm now 36.

I also have two cornsnakes in a terrarium, they're 'round 7 years old and siblings. They are as tame as can be expected.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was at a Pearl Jam concert, stood at the front and was lifted over the fence by the guards. While in the air, upside down Eddie looked at me and kind of "asked" a thumb up or down, I gave both thumbs up and he nodded back whith a smile and the continued singing! That is unbeatable! And I also got a plektrum from a Chris Cornell concert.
