CURRENT MISSION

Explore, eat, drink and listen to good music

ABOUT ME

I'm a music and nature loving person living and breathing the student life in Uppsala, Sweden. I'm a feminist and started studying political science and art history, and have now found my way to cultural geography. I travelled and couch surfed through Europe almost 10 years ago, and are now heading to the U.S for new adventures..

PHILOSOPHY

"We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us" - Charles Bukowski

My personal philosophy is trying to live life to the fullest. It's not always an easy quest, but I believe that new people, environments and culture are some of the most inspiring things on earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I find couchsurfing very useful and I plan to be a serious user who both give and hopefully receive couchspace.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good ones i must say! (Check out my travel companion Moa Breivik's page if you like to see a few references)

Interests

I like music, art and old things. I'm fascinated by architecture, buildings, colours, and photography. I would like to live in the mountains in the future surrounded by animals. If I could, I would rather dance then walk.

Music, Movies, and Books

Without music and literature life would be nothing. I mostly listen to psychadelic rock, blues and folk but also old jazz and indie. My heart beats for Led Zeppelin, Creedence, Jefferson Airplane, Goat, Black Sabbath, Tom Waits, Bo Hansson, Nationalteatern and many more. Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies and Videotape is one of my favourite films, also a Love Story (En kärlekshistoria) by swedish Roy Andersson. Charles Bukowski is one of my favourite authors, although I mostly read academic literature at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The backpacking trip in Europe was amazing, and living at my friends house in Tokyo exploring the japanese culture!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to be creative, drawing, painting, writing and taking photographs. I would like to be more practical as well, growing my own food and building things. I'm up for anything and surely we could share a lot!
