My nationality and name is a mix 2 fairly humble cultures, but indeed I am a women who managed to live many lifes in one life. I am to the point of unhealthy focused when intrested in something and/or working. Yet have quite a calm and stable temperament.
Therefore turns out, so far:
I have been a banker, bartender, cleaner, manager, social worker, swimming teacher, childcare professional. And a lot of quite weird things inbetween.

Mayored in human rights and genderstudies, loved uni more than life and studied for many years. I belive in the magic of equal worth, equal rights and that peace can indeed be created. I have real passion for meeting different people with deep and grounded respect, loving care and a determination for creating understanding between us no matter differences.

Other: did lot of volonteerwork in both Sweden and abroad:
Worked with sea turtle protection, eco farming, democracy projects and or minority rights, LBTQI rights and refugees support.

I got into banking as it turned out my mind was a bit more strategic than I myself expected at first, but I really enjoyed calming down angry clients the most. And really, finance was not really what I was expecting from life as I was dreaming.

I also spend a few years being a practising buddhist. I am still good at meditation and use part of buddhist ethics in my everyday life.

I have been vegetarian/and or vegan since the age of 14, and since I was into alternative music and lifestyles since early age my hair colors and styles have been: pink, peach, white, purple, red and orange. I have also shaved of all my hair, had undercut for many years and had dreadlocks for a few months.

So as I said, one women many lifes. Swedish with estonian surname. Adored my estonian grandfather and my swedish grandmother.

Dream destination Bhutan. Would also love to go back to Nepal for mountain hiking and go to India again. But most of all I wish to meet new people whom I can inspire and who can inspire me.

If you bring me popcorn you are my god, be yourself and come meet me.

Oh, and I adore camels. The first time I meet a camel my life changed and I got obsessed. They will be ruling the world one day I tell you. Very fascinating creatures. They really got it all if you ask me ☺️🐫🐪 peace out!

Love Carina

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people is always a blessing. I belive we all should be more open no matter our differences. On the other side of fear is what we wish to become.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yeah, I shaved of my hair, then went directly to Egypt to celebrate my 20th birtday. The cultural clash was heavy but it is now a funny story and I made some good friends.

Did fieldwork in desert region of Rajasthan India at the age of 17. Very important learning abouth lifes challenges, and how I should be humble towards all lifepaths.

Did some boxing with professional boxers in Kampala, Uganda. I was not that skilled, I mainly struggled with excersing in that heat and wanting to have my next meal.

Adored Kurt Cobain as a teen, still remembers his birthday as an adult.

The best is yet to come ...
