Overview
About Me
Hi there, nice to meet you! I’m glad to be back on CS; I hope to meet interesting people, share stories, and make lasting memories. I like to think that I’m an uncomplicated and chill person to be with, as well as polite, sensible, funny, and responsible. My most important values are honesty, kindness, and courage.
People often call me a “world-trotter,” or a “citizen of the world,” based on the fact that I’ve lived and grown up in a few different countries in Europe and North America.
I, however, hardly feel like a citizen of the world. Especially when I see how many places some others on CS have visited.. I haven’t been to Asia, South America, Oceania, and only one country in Africa. The world is such a huge and amazing place, and I could never hope to discover even a single entire country in my life. I guess that’s what stories and meeting people are for :)
I’m a musician. I play violin, perform, compose, arrange, sing (kind of), think in functional harmony, sometimes dream up symphonies for myself.
I’m currently studying baroque violin. I’ve lived in France, Germany, Canada, USA, The Netherlands and in September I’ll move to Geneva and study a masters there. My interests include traveling, going to the beach, hiking, good food, nature, reading, sports, art, history, pets, making meaningful connections & conversations, etc.
Hoping to meet interesting people again and discover beautiful new places. Looking forwards :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I made my own tea mug, which I’m quite proud of haha. I also often clean up plastic and trash left behind by others when I’m at the beach or walking around. I like to think of it as my small daily contributions to helping out Mother Nature.
Teach, Learn, Share
One thing I’ve learned and that is a fundamental truth for me is that nothing is as simple as it may appear. Nothing in life is either right or wrong, black or white, good or evil. We’re all complicated people living in a complicated and less-than-ideal world, trying to carve out meaning where we can find it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can help with chores and contribute with grocery shopping of course!
