About Me

CURRENT MISSION

California dreamin'

ABOUT ME

I have traveled a lot during my days and I have visited a lot of cities around Europe, Asia and South America. A couple of years ago I went with the transsiberian railway from Moscow to Beijing.

In my hometown in Sweden I have studied philosophy and found that very interesting. Now I am studying as a nurse. Right now I am on a one semester exchange to Copenhagen.

I have also lived in London for 6 months, that was probably the best thing I have ever done. London is great, go there!

PHILOSOPHY

“The unexamined life is not worth living!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in South America I stayed with couchsurfers half the trip. I havent just got to know hosts but friends and other travellers. Without couchsurfing I wouldnt have met so many nice people that I have.
