About Me
CURRENT MISSION
From time to time I have big problems reaching my couchsurfing, don´t know why. Just telling you in case I don´t answer you!
Trying to stay in touch with heaven, keep my spirit up, live each day
ABOUT ME
Hard to write about yourself, isn´t it?
I´m a middleaged (old?) woman, living on my own. I have three grown-up Sons living in the area and six small grand-children.
I am retired but kept on working till Covid-19 arrived. I help my Sons with different things like taking care of a dog, babysitting. I grow potatoes, carrots and other things for us and I spend a lot of time in the forest picking different berries partly for the economi but most because I want to eat homemade food. I love people but I need a lot of time on my own - sometimes hard to find both ;)!
I grew up in Lapland during the 50:ies and 60:ies which I think influnenced my life. We lived in the mountains, no modern life, we were taught to be careful with life and this earth.
I´m really afraid of traffic (cars, buses), but I do have a car and drive.
I like nature and countryside, even thou it gets rather dark in the Winter. Nature makes me feel safe, in town I never walk alone after dark! But I don´t mind walking the streets during day-time, window-shopping, feel the city :)

Life itself is amazing..
Learning how to swim as a grown-up was amazing for me like first time I dared tip over with the kayak while practising.
