About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To connect with myself, and travel more solo.

ABOUT ME

I am a single mom of three boys trying to use my time away from them as fully as possible by travelling, learning new things, and dancing. I am very independent and I like to travel by myself.

I am not interested in flirting or sexual encounters, but I am hoping this site will help me filter away such intentions and find the people who are truly just altruistic and social.

I am easy-going, outgoing and sometimes not that sure where I am going ;)
I like mindfulness and spontaneity, long walks, running, cooking and rather doing things off the beaten track than on them...

PHILOSOPHY

Life is rock hard AND beautiful.
There is most to win at the edge of one's vulnerability.

Travelling teaches you as much about your place of origin as of your destination...
Let's eat something! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just decided to start participating actively in this community this year (2018) by hosting and one day perhaps visiting. I have so far only had the chance to meet up with travellers, but am hoping to host soon.
I have travelled a lot and lived in other countries, I work with intergration for immigrants, I have been a peer student at University and I just love cultural exchanges.

I am a little bit too busy for my own good which is why I am looking forward to my vacationing

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of movies but too few books. Hoping to change that imbalance this year!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giving birth beats most everything.
Also the year I lived with no more posessions than what fits in a box (apart from clothes).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Swedish, swedish cooking or kizomba.

I can also teach English and French to foreign learners.

I'd love to learn any type of dance or cooking from you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook something, share interesting talks, perhaps teach Swedish/French or English.

I can dance kizomba with you if you are a leader.
I can offer my home in Sweden
