CURRENT MISSION

I'm living in Sweden as a postdoctoral researcher. I study invertebrate pest and predators in agriculture.

ABOUT ME

I love how the opportunities to learn are so vast. I get restless if i stay in one place too long. I feel calm when my hands are in the soil and/or am in nature. Cities invigorate and inspire me. I am not a planner.

PHILOSOPHY

passion, humility and compassion

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by inciting interesting conversation with all I meet and washing the dishes. I hope I'll be able to show the people who cross my path as much warmth and compassion as I've been received with all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I always seem to find a place to stay when I need it, either through CS or friends of friends ad infinitum, but it's more than just about finding a place to stay. The couchsurfers I've met never cease to amaze me with their depths of compassion, interest and genuine desire to help me discover their home cities or coutrysides.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most influential experience I've had is working with an Indigenous women's weaving cooperative in Chiapas, Mexico. They taught me so much about strength, sustainable organization and how differently we all approach the world.
