CURRENT MISSION

Mastering Hungarian

ABOUT ME

Hej, hola, szia! Short version of me: I'm positive, a listener, I like languages (a lot), hiking in the mountains, traveling and learning new things. I enjoy having deep conversations over a beer/glass of wine or two.

Longer version: I'm sort of a restless soul from Sweden, I can be found in most places but I feel at most comfortable in the north of Sweden up in the mountains, close to nature and far away from the hustle and bustle. I prefer walking on grass over pavement, and I like deviating from the path/trail. I'm a positive person, I don't like complaining, and if there's a problem I try to solve it. I think a lot but don't always speak a lot, I prefer listening to other people's stories (I already know mine, and I'd like to know others' ;-) ). I enjoy discussions and deep conversations about a lot of things! :) People call me a diplomat; I have to see things from more than one side, so getting inputs from other views and opinions is always welcome! And languages... I speak a bunch of them by now! Not all fluently, especially not Hungarian yet, but I'm getting there..!

Longest version: Meet me and ask me about it and I will tell :-)

PHILOSOPHY

There are exceptions to everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The summer of -09 I went Interrailing with my two good friends the Patrik's, and we couchsurfed with three CS-hosts and it was all positive! :) In the beginning of 2010 I went to a Couchsurfing-meet in Las Palmas and met a lot of nice people. In the summer of 2010 I also spent some days with hosts in France at a Celtic music festival - a great experience! And while in Norrköping I have given round tours to some people as well :)

Interests

If presented in a good way I believe anything is interesting!

I'm interested in people, science, puzzles, traveling, languages, logical thinking, how people process information differently (human factors/interfaces/communication/cultural backgrounds/languages) and so many other things. It's much easier writing the stuff I'm not interested in although I can't really think of anything right now..

I've always found airplanes and airports interesting as well as logical puzzles and coordinating stuff. In 2014 I finished my bachelor degree in logistics from the University of Linköping (campus Norrköping) in the air traffic management and logistics program. So aviation and efficiency are very interesting topics for me :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like a bit of everything, but especially melodic metal, other types of metal, classical, 50's -> 80's music, house, soundtracks

Movies: Broken Flower is one movie that always pops into my head when I want to mention a movie that has affected me a lot. Watch it, but don't expect a typically dramaturgically plotted movie! And Just Friends is one of my favorites too, very funny :-)

Books: "After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, and Flew Away" and "Sexy", two amazing works by Joyce Carol Oates. Naïve. Super. by Erlend Loe and the Harry Potter-series by JK.R (of course).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've poked Roque Nublo, traveled with the Glacier Express and I have drunk freshly milked reindeer milk! ;-)

And in 2009 I was at the Woodstock Revival festival in Kostrzyn, Poland. The last concert was Guano Apes which I hadn't heard before. So many people everywhere, great atmosphere and great music (and for free!). It was awesome!!! … And exactly when the concert stopped, the rain started pouring down :p

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can (try to) teach you: Stuff about Sweden, processes within aviation, languages, to play the piano, "11:ans knep" - multiplication by 11, cross-country skiing, sailing (I'm a certified instructor :-) )

What I would like to learn: Everything! (Especially Hungarian these days) and to be able to walk on my hands :-)

What I can share with you: Optimism, a beer, a glass of wine, and/or a meal and hopefully a nice time
