About Me

HEJ! (Hello in Swedish)
Great that you're reading this. It means that we might end up meeting and have a wonderful time together! ! ! ! !

Right now I live in the most southern part of Sweden, far away from where I grew up. The main reason I moved here was to study landscape architecture, which I'm enjoying a lot! Whenever I can, I go travelling!

Even if I'm not always travelling physically, I always travel in my mind, discovering new parts of myself and life. 🌳

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet new people. That's the simple answer! I love to travel and to meet other travelers - couchsurfing is just the perfect way to do that!

Interests

Growing up, I always had a book to read (or sometimes four or five at the same time), a picture to draw and an instrument to play. I started playing the flute when I was nine years old and later on I happened to start playing double bass and loved it!

Ecology and sustainability are of huge importance to me. I want to devote my life making whatever I can to make the planet heal from the wounds we have caused.

I grew up in a multilingual home where every conversation was a mix between Kurdish and Swedish. Multiculturalism is what's "normal" to me and I prefer not to define myself by any nationalities. I love exploring different cultures, and especially cultural fusions.

Also big interest: Food. There is nothing better than a delicious meal of vegetarian/vegan food and I love to cook and enjoy food together with other food lovers.

I can go on and on about my other interests as well but then I'm just gonna fill this whole page up with text. Let's meet in person instead to learn more about each others interests!
