ABOUT ME

A friend of mine said I'm "an old soul in a young body" and yes, sometimes I feel like I'm a hundred years old, having faced all that life has to offer... But I guess I have some time left to go until pension, since I'm still having lots of enegy and am really curios about people and in how the world function.

To make a living I'm studying at the University of Gothenburg to become a teacher - in which subejcs I'm not sure of yet. Perhaps I'll teach Spanish or drama or... well, whatever will be will be.

The rest of the time I like to stay at home with the people I live with, eat dinners at my firends places, dream about new travels, read, take part in different kinds of organizastion work and so on. At the moment I'm having a course about trade issues and development. If you're into the EPA-agreements PLEASE PLEASE surf my couch ;)

I know some about hitch-hiking so ask if you need tips about where to hitch from in Gothenburg or other cities :)

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever will be will be.
(Det blir som det blir.
Que será será).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With big eyes and ears and lots of questions.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've staid over once, for a week, and it was lovely. Later I've had some people living in my house and that has been fun and cosy.

Interests

Hang out with my friends, reading, drawing, movies, songs, music, acting, political news and actions. I'm specially interested in all kinds of movements for economical and social justice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can find most films enjoyable. Listen a lot to Tracy Chapman and progg. Like Fogelstroms books about Stockholm in the 1900ths and all kind of feminist or intersectual (is that a correct spelling?) works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The power and the happiness at a school for street children in South Africa (Amasango Carreer School in Grahamstown).

Participating at the first Cumbre Indígenas for women in Puno, Peru.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will fill in this square later.
