About Me

Currently done with my years as an Au pair in Kassel, Germany. This summer I will be traveling with youths in the company Ruf Jugendreisen, and then I'll have holidays in Greece with my friends. We will backpack around the islands and I am very much looking forward to everything.

What then after everything comes is a good question. I am curious to see where life takes me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My latest discoveries when it comes to travels are Uber/BlaBlaCar and Couchsurfing. My first thought about them both was that this is a great way to travel: more flexible, and cheap.

But the more I do it, the more I forget about the money savings. I am more and more happy to get to meet new people who have the same travel ambitions as one self. To take part of others' experiences, and to meet locals who are experts in the areas where you travel – it's just the perfect way to travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading more than watching films and series. Harry Potter is the favorite that I'll never get too tired of. But I also like to read books that I can learn something from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in Cyprus, visit New York and climbing the Great Wall was amazing travel experiences.

Generally in life, my best decision was to go to Germany as an au pair!

Teach, Learn, Share

Honestly, I feel like I have more to learn than I can share. My talents are not that extraordinary ;-) Because of that I am probably more the listener than the speaker, but I always find it interesting to discuss everything from food to languages to world politics.
What I can offer is of course some inside knowledge of Sweden and the language!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some day I will be back in Sweden, and more than willing to welcome all my hosts to visit me and give payback! :-D
