About Me

Currently wandering the east coast of Australia 🇦🇺

Hey there! I’m a Swedish-born traveler with a big love for adventure, cultural exchange, and a soft spot for coastline views. I’ve called the U.S., Ireland, Australia, and the Netherlands home at different points, so you could say I’m pretty adaptable and always eager to soak in new experiences and perspectives. As a law student and avid reader, I’m also pretty into discussing everything from human rights to epic fantasy worlds (currently HOOKED on Fourth Wing).

What I bring to the couch:
💬 Great stories, cultural insights, and a knack for deep conversations (especially if we’re getting into social issues, the beauty of the natural world, or some spicy fictional relationships).
📚 A love for sharing (and hearing!) book, film, and music recommendations that might just introduce you to a new favourite.
🌟 A respect for your space and routines, with an easygoing approach to whatever makes your couch-surfing vibe unique.

Let’s connect and make some great travel memories together!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went skydiving last time I visited Australia back in 2017!

Worked at an off-the-grid summer camp in California in a national forest. Learned how to windsurf and eskimo roll that summer, and lots of hiking of course!

Road trip through the American Midwest/west coast and east coast

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to touch your nose with your tongue 👅

Would love to learn how to scuba dive. 🤿 Went to the Great Barrier Reef a few years back, best place I have been 🌎

And for the love of god, someone with a passion for cooking, help me find my own. I have been on a student diet for 4,5 years. 👩‍🎓

Can share unique aspects of Swedish culture, traditions or even a few Swedish phrases that can keep you going up in the north! 🇸🇪
