CURRENT MISSION
Learn again and again to be hopefull about our world and future and act on it. Become friends with your own heart, stop being so fucking lazy and save yourself.

I've lived allmost all my adult life in communities, it is cheaper, more ecological and more fun. Now I live with two - three room-mates in our flat.... and with about 50 more adults in our house, which is a very very very fine house. And there is always the mission to make my community a better place, not in our gården right now, - unfortunately, - but in keeping the books.

PHILOSOPHY
To make life more enjoyable for oneself and all surrounding. Be happy while finding solutions. Build a good strong defence against stress and consumerism. Find out who/how we would be in a healthy society and be it, work to get there. Yeah, - like that I am when I'm on top, otherwise I lie under my bed and eat choklad ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Many years ago I couchsurfed in France on short notice, without a smart phone or much money but on crutches! Quite an adventure for a little old lady. :-)

Hosting is fun, specially if there is time to do something together, to get help in the garden or a nice meal. Now I have some guests when I feel for it, more in summer, less in vinter.
If you want to do me favours:
- to tell me all about your travels or
'to let me' tell you my lifestory is not one of them. 😁

Interests

Siestas outside, - in the summer, in the shadow, in the grass. More or less bad fantasy books. Arts and Crafts, I love colours and textures, Rainbow Gatherings and hippie stuff, -
I am not a traveller though!
I like to learn new technics, in textiles, gardening, permaculture, - always something new. I'm interested in psychology, counsel-technics as Voice Dialog, RC, Talking Circels, Forumtheater, Process Work, stuff that keeps us happy, healthy and not too bored.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* We managed to buy our house (with 35 apartements) for 9 million skr, paying 100 skr each, that is 9 Euro per person, because of a new law and the activist who told us a bout it.

* I lived in Berlin when the wall came down, a great summer in Mainzer Strasse

* There was river in Mexico, close to Palenque/Yucatan with water like lightblue milk and a waterfall, so much air in the water like you are swimming in champagne, would like to go there one more time

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Depends on the interest. Who wants to learn to knit anyway?
I'm handy in any case and can set up your bookshelf for example and I'm a decent cook too, - or was until I lost all my homemakerly powers. I like mini workshops, like doing something together, masks or lamps or whatever.
I can give Voice Dialog sesshions.

Learn: I like to learn ballroom, never got around to it and balboa, argentinian tango, asian cooking...
like to share idears on ecological transition in our livets.
