Hi there:-) I am a single mum with plenty of energy and five kids between the ages of 19-31. My nature is open-minded and curious with a big heart and friendly attitude. Very easygoing and interested in many things. In my everyday life, I combine entrepreneurship in the cleaning business with some freelancing as a textile designer. My most dear hobbies are acting (summer theatre here in our village is really worth a visit ) different ways to stay in shape ( nature is close and plenty of minor roads to walk or run ) and art.
Our house is not luxurious, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. My kids are used to different nationalities and I am a foreigner too since my mother country is Sweden, though I´ve been here since 1988. I am very down to earth, laugh and smile a lot, and get well on with all kinds of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined because of the opportunity to meet new people from other countries. I love to travel myself, but my finances aren't the very best. I´m a naturally curious and positive human being, who believes that good things multiply and that there´s always love to find somehow and somewhere, though I've been through a whole lot of hard times. I enjoy sharing what I can share with others and I also want to learn new things and get surprised ...to see through other people's eyes. :-)

Interests

Oh..mentioned plenty of them already. Could add gardening, and dancing. ( folk dances or clubs..all the same ) physical work ( the kind you get sweaty from ) keeping myself fit by seasonal sports, like to bake and cooking if there´s someone appreciating it more than my kids ( ok..some of them have left the nagging part behind though and do show some thankfulness :-) ), I paint, take a lot of photos, act and also play flute, sometimes at celebrations and sometimes just for my own fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

All kind of music from classic to soul except from heavy metal. I enjoy classic concerts as well as the music my youths are listening at.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled far away to Boston for a first date and first visit in America ever. Love is what makes life worth living. :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

Never stop to be open minded and learn new things ..challenge my own borders and limits. Come this far in life but still so much new to seek and learn and also share with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My life, my kids, my energy and two- country -personality . The nature and surroundings here in the countryside. A hospital place to stay, perhaps not so much time to take guests to different places, as I have all these kids and duties, but I can help with things and try to do my best.
