I live in Melbourne, Australia. I was born in Sweden but I have been living in Australia since 2012. My mother is from the Philippines and I feel so lucky to feel completely at home in three countries ; Sweden, The Philippines and Australia.

I am very social but I do enjoy having time to myself as well. I love travelling both by myself and with company.
When I am home in Melbourne I play guitar in a band called Lazertits, go to art galleries, take photos, spend as much time outside as possible, try to constantly read up on and learn new things, try to do things I have never done before. I enjoy talking about life for hours with whoever is around and cook vegetarian (mostly) vegan foods.

Other things I do on my spare time is spending time on Google earth looking at mountains. (I can seriously spend hours in front of Google earth ).

I believe there is mostly good people on earth and I think kindness breeds even more kindness. Be nice and other people will treat you and other people nicer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think education, communication, understanding and compassion makes the world a better place. I care deeply for the world and the environment and I think that by opening up your own house to people as well as staying/ spending time with people at their houses, instead of supporting global commercial hotels and hostels, you have the opportunity to get a greater understanding of different types of people which will make the world a more understanding and loving place.

I have both hosted and been a guest and most of the people I've meet, that is involved with couchsurfing, has been open minded, adventurous and interesting people. It's an amazing community and it's a lovely way to prevent non trust among people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first skydive was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I did it in New Zealand and got the most amazing skydiving instructor. He took me up higher than I paid for and just before we were about to jump out of the plane he said : "Because my boss is not on the plane we are going to jump backwards". And so we did! After jumping out of the plane and spinning around in the air I was looking over the mountains of Queenstown. When the parachute opened up my instructor let me stear us above Queenstown . I have never felt so free and filled with adrenaline in my whole life.

I also just have to say the amazing views off the whole off New Zealand. After visiting New Zealand I started thinking alot deeper about natures beauty and how much I enjoy being in it and how careful we have to be to not ruin it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am so amazed and curious about physics and science. Sadly enough I hadn't developed this interest in school so I didn't pay much attention in classes. I'm trying to make this up and read a lot about science and nature. But as I like listening to people I would love for you to teach me anything about science, evolution, space and how things in nature works.

I can teach you how to play guitar, speak Swedish or Norwegian, cook vegan food, show you some interesting spots in Melbourne...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe in sharing happiness, whether that means sharing the back seat of a bicycle while riding through snow, the last sip of a bottle of vodka or a plate of food.
