About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To bike!

ABOUT US

We are a small family consisting of Linda, Joel and our daugher Lo born in 2014 and we live in a house outside Norrköping, Sweden. A cat is also a part of our household!

The hous has been (and still is) a bit old and rough so we have spent some time lately to renovate it. Besides that we enjoy travelling (both near and far), preferably with bicycles and are keen on board games!

We consider ourselves to be easygoing, calm and helpful! If you come and stay with us we might not always have time to show you around but for sure we'll let you know what to see!

PHILOSOPHY

Do not rush, reduce our ecological footprint, help fellow creatures, be content with life and bike a lot!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have been members for quite some years now but have not been so active lately due to house renovation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the years we have mainly been hosting but have also tried surfing ourselves in Latvia, India and the Netherlands. We have only had good expericences from both hosting and surfing.

Interests

As mentioned before we enjoy outdoor activities such as long distance biking, hiking and skiing. When indoors we gladly play board games and Linda might now and then be absorbed by genealogy.

Music, Movies, and Books

A pair of good movies: Napoleon Dynamite and Triplets from Belleville.
A pair of good artists: Bob Dylan and Sofia Karlsson.
A pair of good books: Midnights children and Unknown soldier.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have travelled with bicycle from our home to Athens and from New Delhi to the southern tip of India. Both wonderful journeys!

Teach, Learn, Share

When we are hosting or beeing hosted discussions often tend to be about trying to understand each others every day life: school system, popular artists, national elections, conditions for parental leave etc etc. We find it interesting and guess that's one thing to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Linda loves panncakes and might be able to make a few! ;)
