CURRENT MISSION

Recognising differences and seeing the similarities

ABOUT ME

A Pisces, it is not even funny, it is like the astrological characteristics were written about me.
Usually go with the flow of things and manage to find anything and everything amazing. I hope I will never stop admiring the fantasticness of ordinary things.
And I am obsessed with contradictions, in social interactions, in society, in personalities.

PHILOSOPHY

Human life is built on contradictions not coherence, Embrace it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the word to any and all people I meet that are traveling and interested in other people. Being a good surfer and generous couch owner.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a smashing lad in New Delhi. An experience which totally made me into a true believer. He did not only bring me into his home but also into his life, I am most grateful for his generosity.

Interests

The obvious is of course traveling, reading about traveling, and listening to people talk about their travels. I also love to write, DANCE, snowboard, Social Anthropology. Starting to appreciate the outdoors more and more, hiking, biking and learning how to Nordic ski. Films and literature, art and crafts - glassblowing mostly.
ICE CREAM.
Any culture differences I can find, peculiarities in language. Photography is a new interest of mine as well as vegan baking.
Contradictions - things out of place. Everyday life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Into blues music at the moment, well, starting to discover it.
Watch basically any kind of movie. To relax I usually go with watch action, 80s musicals and Gene Kelly flix.
No matter if told or written I love a good story as well as writers who suck the marrow out of the language. Short stories is an unsung art form. Books is so much about mood but I will never enjoy Jane Austen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding, that was amazing. Catching a wave on a surfboard for the first time was intoxicating.
Seeing a group of killer whales and knowing they are swimming under the boat I was on. Night swimming in a ferocious monsoon Indian Ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to speak Chinese, brush up on my Spanish and French! Crafts, have yet to encounter a craft I don't want to learn.
I can teach knitting and how to pack small and travel light. Will also share my experience with theatre lighting and my somewhat more extensive knowledge of the Swedish language. And I make mean vegan chocolate chocolate chip cookies.
