Well hello there everyone! Welcome to my page!

I am a Swedish artist (painter!) currently living in Leipzig. I moved here after my arts degree at Glasgow School of Art (UK) in the summer 2016 to explore the Leipzig arts scene. My missions with Leipzig is to embrace the life enjoyer in me (and fully understand what this even means to ME), spending lots and lots of time painting and to learn German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting other people to explore the meaning of life enjoyment with. Share experiences with and learn from. Have lovely (and intense) conversations on arts, gender structures, the understanding of normality, cultural differences, travels and much much more.

Maybe and hopefully I can meet people that can help me develop my German, and find the hidden gems of Leipzig with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Heard anyone not being able to sing according to normative standards? Then it's probably just what I love when it comes to music. Main thing is energy, preferably with some punk vibes, good lyrics and something gender-bender over it. A newly found favorite is the Leipzig band 'The Doc Foster Band'. (if you're a Swedish speaker 'Bob Hund' is an all time favorite)

When it comes to movies I can give you some leading words: philosophic artistic language, dark comedy, gender-bender, psychiatry, women's rights, slowness, biographical, documentary

In text I am drawn to everything that involves gender studies, art, painting, history of ideas, psychiatry, biographies, 'the creative genius', mental health/unhealth, destruction of patriarchy, power ladies, inner and outer journeys.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved abroad over and over and over. One of the most developing things one can do in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's meet and share life experiences over a few rounds of board games!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise you there's plenty of funny Swedish words to be taught! Or how about vegetarian cooking, painting techniques, Swedish women's history, yoga postures..

I am sure we will figure out plenty to teach each other!
