About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the world

ABOUT ME

I´m a swedish girl that lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. I just turned 30, and I´ve lived in Denmark for about 6 years. My father lives in Malmö, Sweden, just on the opposite side of Öresund, and he turns 90 years old in October. He is the best and is still going strong.
My mum died for 2,5 years ago but she is in my heart and she goes with me every where I go. I have 3 half brothers on my fathers side and they live in Australia, South Africa and in Sweden.

PHILOSOPHY

My main goal in life is love, that´s what it´s all about. The second is to see the whole world. That´s what it´s about for me. To experience, see and learn as much as possible in this life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time trying CS, but I´m going on my around the world trip in a few weeks, so I hope to try it a lot for 5 months traveling the world.

Interests

I´m passionated about traveling, learning about new cultures and meeting people from different countries. I love to try new things and to taste new foods. I´m a makeup-artist and stylist and I love everything that has to do with color. I love to decorate, by new furniture and then enjoy putting them together. I love to write, paint and to dream about and plan my new adventures. And then I´m crazy about diving. :-) AND Bikram Yoga. :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the movie about Edith Piafs life. Can´t remember the name. I had the strongest experience when I saw it with my mum some years ago and I haven´t seen it since. I love all kinds of music, depending on my mood that day. I love to read but only do it in periods. I´m a spiritualist and I love the books by Michael Newton.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best things I´ve done is when my parents took me to Garissa, Kenya for 6 weeks when I was 17 years old. My parents are doctors (my mum is now dead) and we all worked at the Rotary Doctors Hospital in Garissa. I got to help my parents as much as I could and was there to see amputations, sicerians, gunshot wounds etc. It was one of the most learning experiences in my life.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
