My name is Matilda and I’m a former exhausted preschool teacher from Sweden who packed her bags and moved to Lisbon to work (after recovering from exhaustion). I like everything that has anything to do with animals. My ideal hangout would be to pet dogs or miniature pigs. Thrifting, drinking [insert random beverage here], hiking, dancing and I’m also learning how to sew : ) up for discussing any topic, whether that be ice cream flavors and textures or politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe this is the best way of making friends, discovering new places, experiencing different cultures (and share mine). How else does grown ups make friends anyway??

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2014 I Went to the beach at a city in Bali night time (might have been post clubbing, might not hihi). There I saw some locals in the act of rescuing baby sea turtle eggs, so I joined the rescuing :’) they also had a pet squirrel that came every day for a lil snack
