I live in the lovely Southern Swedish city of Malmö.
Malmö is especially great for cycling and finding delicious vegetarian and vegan food and meeting people from all over the world (we have 180 nationalities who live here).

I am an idealist (which is becoming increasingly difficult in recent years) and I love hearing other people's perspectives on the world and what is important to them.

Travel is one of my biggest passions (quelle surprise!) and I try to do as much as I possibly can.

I always enjoy meeting people on my travels or at home and sharing stories, ideas and drinks.
It's rare I am able to host but on the occasions when I have been able to I have met some lovely people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love the ethos of couchsurfing. A collective of good people helping each other to see the world and learn about other cultures.

Interests

Love travel, music and figuring out how the world works.
Love a good coffee in the morning and a beer I haven't had before in the evening.
I'm very good with geography and maps, I am usually a good asset to a pub quiz team in this respect plus I have an excellent sense of direction so i'm good to get lost with.
