About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people, being nice, exploring, rebelling for a cause, laughing a lot and singing out loud to super cheesy road trip songs.

Also, I am currently finishing my studies while working full time, so I don't really have time to host right now but should get better in February :) I am really sorry if I do not respond to your message but I do get a lot of CS requests and it is hard to attend to them all.

ABOUT ME

Dreamer/reader/wanderer, emotionally attached to my Fjällraven backpack. I am forever restless, usually going for some other place, other time. Professional long-distance friend, as my closest friends live in different countries (and continents). Cannot pronounce the word squirrel, but am willing to awkwardly try.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, the world is a messy place as it is. If there is a choice between staying and going on an adventure, always go on an adventure. Listen to other people. Material things are just things, you can live without them (unless we are talking about my backpack, I cannot live without my backpack!). Be inspired. Live and dare and be unapologetically yourself like no-one is watching because everyone is on facebook, so no-one is really watching.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some of the coolest people on Couchsurfing! Me and my friends stayed along side the east and west coasts in the USA through Couchsurfing and it was awesome! Now it is time to give some karma back ;)

Interests

Traveling - that should be a no-brainer :), writing, photography, studying, reading tons of books (I am that kind of a nerd, and yes, I do play video-games from time to time), all artsy-pseudo-intelectual-hipster-stuff, being ironic and sarcastic and sometimes even funny, running, trying-not-to-kill-myself-on-longboards, meeting new people, spending time with friends (aka shenanigans-ing), discussing post-structuralism and relativism (you have been warned), being fascinated by and trying to grasp quantum physics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: If I should choose some director to direct my life, then I would go for Wes Anderson.

Series: Twin Peaks, Game of Thrones, Girls, Walking Dead, Simpsons

Music: Basically, I am a pitchfork girl (pitchfork.org), in love with Spotify and their recommendations and BBC 1 residency

Books: Too many books, too little space but anything by Neil Gaiman for sure (I wanted to marry this guy when I was 12, haha) and then my list goes on and on. I am always in a process of reading something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on living to several foreign countries; spent five days with Nomads in Sahara desert because our engine went down; survived driving through the rush hour in NYC; climbed up Angels' landing, finished reading Ulysses by James Joyce (not saying I understood it); went on tour with Young Fathes (my boyfriend is their sound engineer); totally wrote more than one thing... oops!
