Overview
About Me
After a looong trip I decided to settle down and go back to something that matters to me : science.
So here am I in Uppsala doing a PhD in microbial ecology.
After not having a home for some time it took me a while to get ready to host, but I know look forward to give back all what I got from the CS community.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
CS is a endless source of surprise. You never know what's gonna happen and that's great!
And if you want to see more references about me check the profile I share with my former partner. You can find it in my personal reference (yes I left myself a reference :) )
Interests
Travel of course : hitchhiking, trekking, sailing, wilderness, couch surfing....
But also : equality, science, history, food, cooking, vegetables, fine herbs, spices, tea, politics, feminism, the World, people , books, movies, and meeting you :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Fast, mean and dirty! That how rock'n roll should sounds! :)
But I actually like many kinds of music from mexican corridos to anarchist French singers
Whatever in can read ! But mainly fiction.
A few recommendations would be j. Fforde, E. Zola, N.
Geiman, D. Pennac, isabelle eberhardt among so many more.
I tend to be picky in my taste but as lately I had little time to watch movies I can watch whatever and be happy!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Traveling fours year by land and see from Switzerland, across Asia up to Canada and Mexico.
This includes amazing wilderness from Siberia to California, crossing the pacific on a freighter, free diving Asian seas, Incredible city's..
- Proving to myself and others that there is everywhere, doesn't matter the religion or culture or wealth, kind people willing to help you.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could quite likely give you a few tips on budget traveling, hitchhiking, and traveling by land and seas.
I also enjoy sharing my knowledge on nature friendly life, cooking and science ( among other things, I tend to be chatty ;-) )
What I Can Share with Hosts
I an host who knows well what it means to be a guest.
So hopefully it will help me feel as comfortable as possible :)
But for sure you'll find here a welcoming place to stay in uppsala !
