About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My partner Loui (From New Zealand) and I (From Sweden) both live and work in Nelson, New Zealand.
Between March and October 2018 we will be travelling to South America and Europe to compete in the Enduro World Series - Mountain biking.
We are hoping to meet amazing people from different countries and cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a SWEDE living in Nelson, New Zealand since 8 years.

I am an active girl who's constantly looking for adventures and new interesting people to meet.
I love to travel and engage in sports (mountain biking, swimming, windsurfing, skiing, surfing and more)

PHILOSOPHY

Experiences and people are more important than stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first join CS in 2008 and was quite active for a few years, when I moved to New Zealand it was unfortunately forgotten until now.

I am hoping to meet many cool people through CS during my 7 month long trip in South America and Europe, March - October 2018.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Malta, it was the perfect way to get started with my life there, I stayed about two weeks and this man was the personification of hospitality. I will try to couchsurf everytime I go abroad and host as much as possible.

I have also hosted a couple times at my family home in Sweden and have thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have a very broad taste in music, but if I would try to define it would be a large dose of rock combined with RnB and Reggae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 20 I made the decision to move from Sweden to New Zealand to study Adventure tourism. It was a big step, not always easy, but today, 8 years later, I am still here and about to get married to a born and bred Nelsonian 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

Always give people the benefit of the doubt - they might have had a really rough day!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I work as a travel agent in New Zealand booking accommodation, activities and travel as well as giving travel tips and advice for the entire New Zealand so my knowledge and experience about NZ is huge.

I am also a qualified outdoor education instructor. I can give anyone a lesson in mountain biking, skiing or rock climbing. 😀
