About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living, learning, exploring and loving, trying to help making the world a better place, one small step at the time

ABOUT ME

This describing-thing makes me crazy, and thats a great place to start i guess, I´m crazy for sure. And happy, happy and thankful about life being awesome and me being healthy and loved.

I love to travel and I will dedicate my whole life to do just so. Save up money to go travel is what I´m mostly up to, when not traveling. It´s been less traveling more studying during the last three years though, besides 5 weeks practicum in Palestine. My heart is still in Palestine for sure.

I like to keep active, having alot of people around me all the time and doing fun stuff. I like to chill aswell ofcourse, not do much at all infront of my computer or just taking long walks, but as a matter of fact, I´m kinda lazy too :P I like nature - mountains, lakes and forests brings me peace, like taking pictures and reminiscing over old times. Also love listening to music, live music of most kinds - what better way to spend a evening then with good food, wine & jamming? There´s only one catch, i can´t play any intruments ^^ But i love to try to singalong!

PHILOSOPHY

Don´t compromise yourself, you´re all you got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I absolutely love the whole idea of couchsurfing and plan to use it as much as i can, i´ve always had a great time surfing.

Our couch is mostly open for couchies to crash on, wich has been great fun everytime so far. Im sorry about beeing to busy the last year-two years to host as much as i want (or even answering requests) but times are changing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couched some in Australia, Belgium and India. Had some couchie-conversations in Cuba. Besides that i´ve been hosting in my apartment here in Linkoping. All my couchsurfing experiences are the best of times!

Interests

Traveling, exploring, drinking heaps of coffee, EATING veggie-food with good company, dancing, laughing, reading, listening to music and jamming, being lazy in the sun or without any sun, watching a good movie our thousand of episodes of a good tv-serie, playing all types of games, sharing travelstories, drinking wine.. this is all ingredients for a good time if you ask me!

Music, Movies, and Books

reggea, indie/alternative/psykadelic/folk/garage/country-inspired/punk/jazz/blues/soul/singer&songwriter-rock, balkan, worldmusic, underground and oldschool hiphop, chillpop/instrumental chillout = i like music and different kinds of it, it always changes from one time to another

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the wonderful people i met in Palestine!! Doing grafitti on the separation wall, exploring Dheisheh refugeecamp by living there, interviewing 6 guys who´ve been in prison while still being kids for throwing stones at the israeli soldiers.. Eating falafel all the time and even getting a tatto that says "Falafel two shekels" in arabic.

Everything about Cuba! Communism, white beaches, Che Guevaras tomb, friendly open people, salsa and mojitos, live music everywhere.. Lololove Cuba!

Traveling the coast of Mozambique in small crowded buses, seeing the real Africa and met so much nice people!

Sunrise and sunset over Uluru, Ayers Rock Australia was pretty awesome. So was jeeping Fraser Island and snorkeling at the Whitsunday islands.

India, India, India. Crowded, smelly and absolutly wonderful cities and streets. The amazing vegetarian fooood! Seing the sunset overlooking Hampi with livemusic next to me, cruzing on a scooter exploring the ruins of Hampi. Exploring the Kite festival in Ahmedabad with great Cs-people, overlooking the rooftops crammed with kite-flying people, the atmosphere when it got dark and all the firework and tukkans lighting up he sky! Being drunk in Goa with candles, rum, ten dogs and good friends in the sand. Exploring Keralas beautiful backwaters. The life around Ganges in Varanasi. And so much more, India was great.

Backpacing through south europe with my hubby, favourites: the pyrenees in the morning, sunbathing in san andreas, drinking portwine in porto, kissing by the eiffel tower and so on..
