About Me

Born and raised in Sweden. Started traveling 2010 and my first trip without my parents was to a party trip to Greece (classic!) and my second was to Ghana for two weeks of volunteering in an orphanage. And from that moment it has just continued.

I have lived in 3.. or 4 countries.. depending on how you count. And traveled to 30 + something.

I am a positive, fun and social person. Loving life, food, beautiful views, enchanting landscapes and the smell of gingerbread. And beer and coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I never liked being a tourist in the traditional sense of a tourist. I'm a traveller and I'm longing to see the world the local way.

Interests

Food, beer, coffee, wine, traveling, writing. Practice sports. Creative things like sewing, scrapbooking, painting, drawing, music etc. Museums. Books and reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's too hard to chose only one, so here's my top five:

1. Safari in the Kruger park in South Africa. Saw all the big five, which was just amazing!
2. Rio Carnival - so much fun!
3. Death road downhill mountain biking in Bolivia. Totally amazing!
4. Skydiving in Cordoba, Argentina.
5. Iguazu falls in Brazil.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you have traveling stories? Please share them with me!

What languages do you speak? Please share them with me! (I'm trying to learn Spanish at the moment, and know tiny tiny little bit of french. I would like to learn Portuguese, and I'm also interested in learning german.

Music. Anything. I've taken piano and guitar lesson when I was a kid, but I don't remember much. Maybe you play any of them, maybe you could help me to refresh my knowledge and we could play together. I love singing, some people say that I'm pretty good - I would say that I'm OK. I've heard worse.

My next mission is to learn to play harmonica! I wanna be a pro. If you know how to play it, I would happily get some tips from you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're happy to hear my traveling stories, I'm happy to tell them. Discuss life and philosophical thoughts. Share my view of life. Give some tips about traveling and cool, beautiful and nice destinations.

And also I'll probably sing without even noticing it... And I could cook some nice swedish food for you.
