About Me

Currently in my sixth country this summer, Portugal. Traveled from Sweden to Faro, Portugal through Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain. Hoping to meet some people who’d like to hangout and explore with me.
Open minded, spontaneous, fun, out-going, honest, strong, independent, just.
Those are the words I will use when I describe myself. I absolutely love meeting new people; especially through traveling.
I’m a student at Nord University in northern Norway and I spend a lot of time volunteering with the Red Cross.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to try this out to meet new people from all over the world to get new perspectives on the lives we live and its impact on society and the environment.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love everything from hip hop to alternative music.
The books that have changed my perspective and view of life the most is: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Housseini, The Hand of Fatima by Ildefonso Falcones and Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've started a festival for diversity in the north of Sweden with the name Pamojafestivalen. Pamoja means together in Swahili.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very tidy and can help with house chores, I like to help out with cooking, I can teach you some words in Swahili that you didn't learn by watching Lion King.
