Hi all, glad you clicked on my profile for whatever reason :)

I am new to CS forum, but looking forward meeting all people for different cultures on here. Also sharing my story and learning about yours.

I'm born and raised in the north (and cold) part of Sweden, spent one exchange semester in Singapore and one exchange semester in South Korea. Found out during that time I love travelling, meeting new people from different cultures and Asia (both the warmth and the warmth of people).

Now I am back in Asia for a third round, this time to complete a PhD at NUS in Singapore.

I am the happiest being out in nature; hikes, sunsets, sunrises (if I can manage to wake up), waterfalls and mountains all have my heart. If this also is of interest to you, I'd be more than happy to enjoy these parts of nature together.

I might be a bit shy in bigger groups and prefer to hang out in smaller constellations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I come to realise my best travel memories have always been when I had good company to share the experiences with, and I think it's very powerful being able to connect with other people.

Also, it's interesting hearing stories from different cultures and I hope being here will allow to better connect with local traditions and way of living.
