Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel globally, discover locally!
ABOUT ME
Half Swedish, and fake half French. Lived in France for eight years. Now back in Stockholm with way too much space in my apartment! I like the beauty and structure of Sweden, but miss the lively and flexible France. I am a trained journalist, but now working with communications within an international humanitarian organization. I love to travel and last year I've been to such various places as Kiruna, Cape Town and Port-au-Prince.
PHILOSOPHY
It is not what you own that makes you happy, but what you do.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not so much yet. Hosted a couple of times in Stockholm. And outside of CS I quite often meet great people at buses, train stops or in the street. Some were great for an improvised coffee, others became lifelong friends.
Interests
Literature, languages, sports (just started to play tennis - but also want to learn how to surf, yoga, ski, and run very far!).
