About Me

A PhD student keen to discover more about the human brain, mind and condition using travel as a way to keep myself grounded and inspired. Also, someone who is much better at introductions in person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to embrace a different sort of travel that places the people before the place, the traditions before the tourism and the memories before the merchandise!

In a less pretentious way, I'm keen to talk to people and discover more about the place that you live that can't be discovered in a short walk around the city centre. I became more aware of the need to have this kind of travel after years of living in London (UK), a city I adore but because of the many sides that I believe the standard tourist never experiences. I hope that through my time on couchsurfing I'll be able to provide and experience this ethos a little bit more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully some interesting perspectives from my time living in the UK and travels (mostly around Europe). In a less broad sense I love food and cooking and am happy to share my trials and tribulations with vegetarianism in the kitchen.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Sweden, United Kingdom
