**** please state your (planned) arrival and departure hours! ****

I WILL ONLY HOST SOLO FEMALE TRAVELERS, like myself, please let me know if you are in need and I will try to do what I can for you!! Lots of love!!

*******************************************
I'm Sami the Swedish lady - please do not ask me where I am "originally" from if I have told you that I am from (((drumroll))) Sweden... Ask me instead where I have been and where I want to go. What I have done and what I want to do! I prefer genuine conversation that flows naturally and if we can connect and engage, by the end there will be nothing we don’t know about each other. Let's not interview one another!

I am NOT openminded (ha!) but my heart is. My language is love and honesty, my words can be vulgar but never evil. Humour is crude but quirky. There are no taboos in the presence of humility and compassion.

I love spending time with good friends and meet new people to broaden my knowledge and to be inspired.
As an INTROVERT I also love spending a lot of time with myself to recharge.

PHILOSOPHY
surround yourself with people that allow you to be, people that want to see you happy and people who don’t mind seeing you unhappy

look at every person that you meet as a teacher and your experience will be quite different (although this might be tricky)

I will most likely not offer alcohol nor do I advocate it as the alcohol norm is already too persistent but you are welcome to choose for yourself and if you drink in my home please drink moderately - that means not throwing any couches out from the balcony!
