About Me

I grew up in swedish Lapland but live in Gothenburg since a few years back. Sadly I can't host right now!

Among things I like you find: words (writing or reading), people, dancing, strange documentaries, occasional activism, traveling, drinking wine, dumpsterdiving and eating (sometimes cooking). People often describe me as curious, kind and apparently I get a sneaky look on my face when I’m up for mischief. I am some kind of journalist, right now on a pause. I will be hitchhiking around Europe this fall and I’m looking for places to sleep, new friends and adventures of all sorts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think it's a wonderful way to travel, meet new, interesting people and stay on a tight budget at the same time! When it comes to travel, I think there are ways in which you can really experience places, and not just be a tourist, and couchsurfing is a great way to do this. To see the real place, behind the facade!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent new years eve in a cabin up in the mountains in Northernmost Sweden, seeing the most beautiful northern lights moving all over the sky. Also all the places I've passed while traveling and all the beautiful I have gotten to know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about the swedish culture including the phenomenon "fika", the basics of photography and text and also how to make the best cheesecakes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my excellent taste in music, my funny northern swedish accent, my thoughts, lots of laughs and discuss politics, culture and art forever and ever! Back in Sweden I can also share my hometown and contacts.
