About Me

I want to provide a safer space for LGBTQ+ travelers who want to visit Stockholm. I can host single travelers, couples or friends. I want my home to be a welcoming space for all queer and trans people and I'm also happy to help you search for queer-focused events/clubs/happenings in Stockholm during your stay!

Two years ago I moved back to my hometown Stockholm after spending six years in England (London and Brighton). Over there, I took on random jobs but mainly I was studying literature. I love literature and poetry and I'm a queer theory geek. I love getting into interesting conversation with people and to share stories and ideas.

I'm interested in the arts and I love drawing and painting and photography. I am super into vintage furniture design and I spend way too much time in thrift stores.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know people, share stories and experiences and build a network of friends around the world. I'm really into community-based solutions where we can share space with each other. I believe in hospitality, solidarity and community-care. Most importantly I want to provide a safer space for queer tourists/visitors in Stockholm.
