Aviva (it's a palindrome ---- do you know what that means? Read my name backwards and you will understand..)
I was born in Sweden although Aviva isn't a typical Swedish name. I am 22 years old.

I've decided that the purpose of my life is to make a difference. Very vague goal, yet very important. I want to make the world a better place, with a smile on my face.

I do smile a lot, since I am a happy person. I joke a lot. I think I am very funny (and I know some other people who agree). People usually want to talk to me, I'm not scary at all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer (june & july) me and my boyfriend are planning on busking through Europe. We're going to bring our guitars and open minds, and our goal is to play as much music as possible - on streets, corners and hidden squares. We think that the couch surfing element will bring extra depth to our experience - we want to meet "locals" and get to know the culture. Feel free to join us on the street if you like to play music :)

Interests

Music! Listening, writing or playing doesn't matter but I love music.
Spending time with family and friends.

SInce I graduated from high school I've been traveling a LOT. I love to see new places and meet people who are very different to me. I love meeting weird people. But not only that - I want to "build bridges" (sorry for cliché) from different cultures so that the world will be more peaceful.

Feminism. Environmentalism. Laugh. Get lost. Harmonize.
