ABOUT ME

I grew up on a beautiful island called Öland in Sweden. After high school I went travelling in Southeast Asia for 3 months and had the best of times. I loved the freedom it gave not having a daily routine but missed the feeling of being useful (but that's definitly possible to combine ;). When I got back to Sweden I worked at IKEA and started studying at Lund University in 2008 to become a Fire Protection Engineer. During my education I spent 3 months in Christchurch, NZ, and loved it. There is also where I had my first couchsurfing experince (the Chch-group is very active) and I loved the concept!

Today I'm almost finished with my studies and will start working as a consultant. I'm looking forward to new challenges and opportunities!

What else? Oh, I'm a hugger. And I like to smile. Give the world a little extra of your love today! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After a beautiful Sunday tramp at the Rakaia Gorge Walkway with a great bunt of Couchsurfers, I couldn't be more sure that this is a great way of meeting fun people, see other countries and learn about other cultures.

The Christchurch group is very active and I've had a lot of fun adventures with them! There's a lot of lovely people in that area. I did my first surf in NZ, had a lovely host and is convinced that this works.

For a while now, I haven'e especially active, but I'm looking forward at soon having the opportunity to travel and couchsurf again!

Interests

My lovely dog Sandi and my wonderful boyfriend Martin gets a whole lot of my time. I try to see my sister as often as I can and between those activities I see my friends for a nice long walk or a good "fika", hopefully home-baked. I try to go to the gym and run a couple of times a week. And of course a spend some time longing for my next adventure; South America! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first diving experience was in the Red Sea, Egypt, and I was so amazed coming up into the boat again that I couldn't say anything; I just had a huge smile on my face for minutes! The second dive we saw wild dolphins and I was hooked.
