ABOUT ME

I am what I am, what else is there to be?

Im tidy and responsible, Im mature but so childish, and yet analytical. Im happy, smiley, I like laughing and Im playful. Energetic and explosive.

I don't like locked doors and prefer to call out: ITS OPEN when someone knocks, rather than to walk to the door for unlocking and opening it.

I'm social and like having company. But there are times I just don't want to interact with people. Sometimes I even meet people to be alone together with. That's cool.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been moving around a lot and haven't had the possibility to host. Neither have I planned my own excursions very well, I always contact people with such a short notice. I hope I don't seem rude...

Well, I'm surfing now anyway - with short notice =) so please bear with me

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great, great, great! It really warms my heart and gives me hope for humanity when I experience or hear about people that are so welcoming and invite travelers in their homes and lives!

Interests

Gastronomy. I love food, wine, coffee, liquor, teas etc. I prefer vegetarian food, but Im a flexatarian in social occations. And Im gluten intolerant, which sucks, but there are worse things in the world.

SCUBA. Boats. Snorkeling. I love, love, love the sea!!!
Various forms of artistic, creative expressions. Music.
Flowers. Parks.
Boards of various kinds, on which I can travel sideways. One of my dreams is to learn to surf, it looks awesome. But so far I stay with my boards on snow and concrete.
Forests. Picking mushrooms and berries.
I like humans. There is a great difference between humans and people. And I like animals.

I do care a lot about equality, society, and the "developing world". Thus, Im interested in philosophy and politics. I don't like politics per se, but I'm interested in the consequences! I can't run from it

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes please.

Punk is awesome, so is funk, classical music and opera, Electro swing and jazz. And indie. And experimental mixed stuff. I have a tendency to like unsigned bands / street art-stuff. Not necessarily because of the quality, but because of the soul

I have a to-read-list and it's just getting longer... One of the best books in the world is Crime and Punishment. Oh, and Goodbye to Berlin.
