About Me

CURRENT MISSION

explore the world!

ABOUT ME

open minded, easy going, always trying to be funny.. but actually, I find it hard to describe myself. I would definitely say that I'm positive most of the time. I don't get angry at people very quickly, because I always try to unterstand their perspective. I like to be honest with everyone and I'm very tolerant.

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give. And being kind and positive. You can change so much with just changing your perspective. And being crazy sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled with two amazing friends to New York in April 2015 and it was amazing. Our host Abi was friendly, helpful, cared so much about making us feel at home that I fell in love with couchsurfing. It's always better to get to a know a city by it's people.

Interests

Mostly different cultures and people. It's important to me to talk about politics and history, I often feel the need to speak up and create a space for people who truly care about changing something. It doesn't have to be the biggest step, just the fact of being active and optimistic about what you can do with your time. I like people who inspire others and who are kind.

Music, Movies, and Books

too much! I love movies, crazy and weird ones, Wes Anderson must be named here. I love "La grande belleza" from Paolo Sorrentino. I read all the time, I don't care who wrote it. And I listen to music all the time, jazz, hip hop, electronica such as.. Miles Davis, Bonobo, Moderat, Jazzmatazz, just to name a few. There's, like I said, just too much!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on a 36h boat trip from Sweden to Poland, and definitely snorkling and diving near Phi Phi Islands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to cook an afghan meal (it's extremely delicious, but to be honest: my mum does it best) and I could teach you some afghan words. We could also have endless conversations about everything - I love talking and discussing things.

I'd like to learn how to play guitar!
