ABOUT ME

I moved from the countryside on the Swedish west coast to NYC, shifting focus from nature to art and back again. Now I live in Copenhagen, Denmark in an apartment I share with my boyfriend and two friends. I'm a vegetarian /vegan (not preachy) I love horseback riding and being in nature, camping, swimming, painting, reading. The list is long. interested in everything! open minded, easy going, and ready for surprises!

PHILOSOPHY

If I don't do it today, I probably won't do it tomorrow either

Humbleness and humor can take you anywhere

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is amazing!

Even though I'm busy with other things and not that active from time to time, I have only praise for the people who's couches I've surfed. Best times were in Portland, Oregon where we cooked, went on road trips and painted a shed with fantasy water-world creatures!
