About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world in search of happiness and life changing experiences!

ABOUT ME

Hi! We are Oskar from Sweden and Fanny from Spain. We both met in Ireland in 2010 and since then we had the dream of traveling the world!
We are a fun and open minded couple that loves to spend time meeting new people and visiting new places.
We were IT professionals before we started our journey but now we define ourselves as jobless, homeless and the happiest we've ever been. (update 2015: We suddenly became teachers in China) (Update update 2015:F*ck our jobs! we are traveling again!!)
update 2016. Money sucks. We are back in China!
Update 2018: Still in China, we grew our little family with a baby doggy

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is possible, fight hard for what you truly want and never give up. Be happy and smile!!!!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can share plenty of stories and experiences we have lived, we can passionately talk about our travels, cook you some delicious food or just invite you to have some beers under the stars!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted a lovely couple when we were living in Ireland, we had such fun that they returned again at the end of their travels and we have kept in touch ever since. We hosted a fun German guy living in China. We surfed in India with several people and enjoyed some true Indian culture and such great welcoming and warmth. We also did some couchsurfing in Indonesia with lovely people. We loved all the experiences and we cannot wait to surf more!

Interests

Traveling is our great passion but food comes next. We also enjoy listening and playing music, snowboarding, long boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, photography, macrame. We love to spend time in nature, trekking and searching for paradise beaches. We truly love animals, either petting them all day long or looking for them in the wild.

We enjoy all kinds of music but we are more fond in rock, indie and electro. Regarding movies, Oskar likes to watch any movie he can get but Fanny likes more nature and travel documentaries. Regarding books Oskar likes more political satire or anything from Hunter Thompson and Fanny is addicted to adventures and medieval times love stories, she loves Ken Follet!
