Hey! We are a open minded, social, and easy going couple.

We go by the words "Every person has a story you know nothing about before interacting with him/her", "A stranger is a friend you haven't met before", "The truth is always subjective", and "Money doesn't make you richer, experiences do".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on Couchsurfing because we think it's a great opportunity to meet local people and get a better glimpse of the culture in the country we are visiting. We think it is a much more exciting way of travelling than living at hostels/hotels. It is also a good way of practicing languages and communication with people. We have the ambition to host when we get back to Sweden.

Interests

Travelling is our number one interest. We like to play music, play boardgames, hang out with friends, party from time to time.
