About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life more and meet new people from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy life and I am of an inquiring mind. What makes me happy is to meet interesting people to have nice discussions with or simply share moments. I love dancing, sports and listening to music, I enjoy cooking... and everything else that makes life worth living.

PHILOSOPHY

The 3 R:s : Respect to others, Respect to oneself and responsibility for onces actions. Besides that I think it´s important to find a reason to laugh and have fun as often as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´d like to welcome people to my home and be welcomed by others to their homes, meet, share thoughts and experiences, cook together, maybe show my guest around and being part of them having a good experience in my hometown and hopefully a nice couch to sleep on:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing, or more or less miraculous, thing I´ve done is giving birth to my two wonderful daughters! Besides that... what I have discovered travelling and meeting people from different cultures is that the once who seem to have nothing have been the most generous people I´ve ever met. I think this is truly amazing and shakes my inner self. twice, ones in Africa, ones in India I was offered the family´s only belongings - their one and only hen! They prepared it for many hours and then the whole village gathered to watch me eat it;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d simply like to share with other people. It could be thoughts, cooking, dancing, visiting a historical place, a museum, going to a concert, a movie, playing football (yeah!...why not?) taking a bath in a finnish sauna or just have a coffee or a drink and a chat at a nice café or a bar. And if you want I can teach you some african dance steps;)
