About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a circusartist.

ABOUT ME

Hmm thats a hard topic.
All about me...

I'm from a bit up north in Sweden. Umeå the town is called. I moved to Gävle (north of Stockholm) when I was 15/16 to start a circus upper secondary education. It's contemporary circus so no elephants and stuff.
After those three years I worked in a supermarket for a year while training in the evenings. Then moved to Oslo, Norway, to earn some money to the school I went to next. A gymnastics school with people from all over the world. I got heaps of new friends and contacts. Absolutely one of the best years in my life so far.
After that I had a great time at a circus school in Copenhagen, Denmark. Included in that education was a trip to Kiev, Ukraine for three months. There it was more circus training and watching some of the best ones in the world train. Was awesome!
Now in Le Lido in Toulouse.
I don't have much life except for the school but I want to, so help me if you can.
Ask if there is something more you are wondering.
I'm vegetarian another flatmate vegan and the third one eats meat so you can pick and choose if you want to cook with us.

PHILOSOPHY

Better to play with fire than to not play at all.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth will lead to a blind and ugly world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted once and that time was really good. The girl who helped me and my friend was really nice and helped us to save a lot of money from the expensive hostel.
Since then I want to help people out during their travels. Come by, save some money and have a hopefully great experience you too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to Turnfest in Germany. A huge gymnastic festival.
Realised that most people all over the world are sweet beings, that is truly amazing.
Hitchhiked from Copenhagen to Barcelona. When my friend and I arrived in the middle of the night and hadn't thought about bringing our passports and had no where to stay we realised that we might have done something stupid. But everything got solved, we had great times and bad times but in the end it was a cool experience. Things usually ends well how ever bad situation you are in.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't know how it is in other cities in the world but if you are in Copenhagen are hungry and out of food and money, do not be afraid of "dumpster diving" your food.
I do this sometimes just cause I think the world throws away way to much food.
And no, it aint discusting at all. Its like opening a refridgerator sometimes. It isn't easy at all stores ofcourse.
