About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know the world rather as a local than a tourist!

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy learning about new countries, customs and cultures from ppl I meet wherever I might be. Travelling to new places contributes to this of course which makes it even better. I believe it is from the ppl themselves you really learn and not so much through books, guides and so on even though that of course can contribute.

I m currently back in Stockholm working to save money to b able to go abroad again in a not too distant future. I m also trying to finish my BA in Political Science while trying to figure out what to do w my life.. I m trying!

I realize that its soon time to enter "the real world" and get a real job. Won´t stop me from travelling and discovering since I m hoping for an interesting job in an interesting country somewhere on this globe.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to short for regrets and everything happens for a reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´ve both surfed and hosted and I can recommend it both.

The hosting experience in the dorm, where I used to live, was cool since we were able to take several ppl in at the same time which made it even more multi-cultural.

Surfing myself is naturally also fantastic and I m always looking forward to my next trip meeting wonderful ppl and getting new experiences.

I also tell ppl about the CS project at any chance I get since I think it´s a great way to go to places and foremost meet ppl u might not have met otherwise!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had wonderful experiences with Couchsurfing so far and the more I do it the more I enjoy it. It´s a fantastic way to travel, meet new people from all over the world and to get to c the "local" things in the city u r in and not just the tourist once.
I really enjoy the possibilities CS gives u, both as a host and surfing, and u learn so much about culture and customs that no guide book in the world could give u!
