About Me

I'm from Sweden and I've lived in France for a few years. I like talking to people and to discover new things!
I love travelling and I'm openminded - I like meeting new people, to learn new things and to taste new food, to experience other ways of living.

I work as a maths teacher in a French lycée, some of the teaching is in English. It's a great job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and to discover other cultures. Coachsurfing is great, it's a good way to talk to local people and to learn things about the area you're visiting.

Interests

I love music, I love to play the piano, to sing and to play the organ.

I like spending time with my son who's six years old and my partner who works in Brussels.

I'm also very fond of home decoration.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music, but also jazz music like Miles Davis or John Coltrane.
I also listen to singers like Sting, Adele, Christine and the Queens, U2, etc.

I'm really into series like Homeland, Blacklist, Downton Abbey, ...

I like many films!

I like books by Kate Morton, Jane Austen, Stieg Larsson, Agatha Christie, Camilla Läckberg, Tolkien but also classical books of authors like Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Gustave Flaubert etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkling in the Red Sea, bathing in a hot spring in Burundi or eating barracuda on a desert island in the Indian Ocean under a palmtree with potatoes cooked in coconut milk.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like cooking and can show how to make a few French local dishes. I'm also curious to learn new things in cooking.
I'm also very fond of foreign languages, and would love to learn German better, but also Spanish or Italian.
I love the Normandy region and can indicate many places to visit.
