ABOUT ME

I am a student (for not much longer!) of social anthropology and previously studied textiles. I love traveling to see different perspectives and lifestyles.

I make art, mostly drawings and enjoy crafts like weaving and knitting.

I have worked as a nanny for about 5 years and learned so much from playing with and caring for children of different ages.

Right Now: My sister, Kirsten, and I are Traveling to Iceland and Finland. Our mother's half of the family are swedish-finns and we have spent a lot of time in Finland as children. We are excited to explore Iceland where niether of us have been before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing music, art, silliness, science, politics, esoterics,
I like to cook and bake and will make you food whether you are my guest or I am yours.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What a wonderful resource! My view of the places I have traveled has been drastically influenced by the people who have shared their homes with me.
