ABOUT ME

Swedish/Icelandic identical twin, who needs more fingers and toes to count all the countries I've been to/lived in. Makes your typical teenage identity crisis a little protracted

PHILOSOPHY

Nationality is a social construct (says the international school brat)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've used CS to orient myself in new cities. I hope to host and surf more!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never actually hosted, or been hosted, but have met loads of lovely people in Cairo, Damascus, and Scotland!

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: Almodovar, Black Swan... I'm losing my memory, and patience to sit still for 2 hours
Music: Used to work as DJ, hence LOVE house, nu-disco etc. Also, Jazz, Afrobeat, all manner of Rock, Pop - you name it. Just discovered Selda Bagcan - Amazing 70's Turkish psychedelia!
Books: Whatever my eye first lands on in the bookshelf.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maasai Mara - WOW. Bizarre to see hordes of enormous animals milling about in open plains. In Sweden you don't see them, there's too many trees!

I want to go to the "Festival au Desert" music festival in Mali before I die.

Fact: Aubergines contain nicotine
I can teach you quite a few recipes - particularly middle eastern ones
