About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starting over...

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about a lot of things in life (which according to some of my French friends shows that I'm half French) - like travelling and meeting intriguing people - and I tend to follow my passions rather than that rational voice in my head (which shows that I'm half Swedish) telling me to grow up and get a "real" job. After all, as far as I know we only live once so I can't see any reason why you wouldn't do whatever makes you happy. For me that's exploring the world and enjoying all its beauty, seeing things from other people's perspectives, being around my friends, listening to music that touches my heart, learning and trying new things... Life's beautiful. At least for the most part...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I became a Hospitality Club member in 2002 and had some truly amazing experiences, which led me to join Couchsurfing - a more "active" and progressive community - a few years later... Although some things may have changed and not necessarily for the better, I am still an avid believer in the concept and idea behind CS.
