Hello! I'm a 23 year old engineering student from Stockholm. I've always enjoyed traveling and meeting new people which I guess is the reason I got on here as soon as a friend introduced me to Couchsurfing.

Right now I live alone on Södermalm near Slussen, although in late August, a friend of mine will move in too. From here there are very good connections to anything you could think of, be it gamla stan with the royal palace, buses to the archipelago, the train to Hagaparken, or to simply walk to/around the beautiful Årstaviken.

There is only one room, so it's shared with me. For sleeping, I have a couch that can be unfolded into a bed where up to two people can sleep. A heads up is that most days I wake up at 6 but I don't make much noise, in case you would want to sleep longer.

I may like both math and economics, but I don't believe everything needs to be quantified, certainly not by putting a price on a couch to rest at night. I will not ask you for money, but food is a small passion of mine so I would love it if you could think of something we could cook together.

Feel free to send me a message to ask any questions, or to see if I'm home.

I should add that I am MUCH more likely to accept if you send a request close to when you will arrive, rather than a month in advance.
