About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my life in Russia and improve my Russian language skills

ABOUT ME

Small in height, but big at heart.
Love tea, travelling, my siblings, Russia, Mathias and good people.

I recently moved to Saint Petersburg to work for a few years. I love this city, and I really love my job. Life is really good.

PHILOSOPHY

Never try never know, as a good friend from Cambodia told me!
Or maybe that life is what you make it! You are in a great position of making your life what you want it to be, if you only have the curage!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was at Sanzhar in Beijing 2006. Great fun, and great guy! Made my stay there unforgettable!

After this lovely first experience I hosted some great people in Oslo, and have been couchsurfing a few other places. Due to many travels and periods abroad and small places to live, I haven´t been hosting as much as I wished to when I started. But, still hanging on - and still loving couchsurfing!

Interests

I love to travel. After high school I went to a folkhigh school, which is a scandinavian school, like a year of (only at school) where you can do pretty much whatever you're interested in (mine were travelling). I meet my travel buddy and best friend there, Guddi, and we went travelling through Asia for almost 5 months the year after. WONDERFUL!
That's the first place I experienced couchsurfing, as we slept at a couch in Beijing. Absolutely loved it!
