Half of me wants nothing more than my horse, my man and my Mexican mountains. The other half wants to live in the biggest city on the planet, dance all night, make conceptual art and never get married. Feel the same? Let's do this.

A more conventional description: I'm a Swedish-born writer interested in shamanism, culture and people. I work as an ayahuasca facilitator for Soltara retreat center in Costa Rica and Peru.

Mexico is my favourite country! 4th time visiting! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling on my own - not to be alone, but the opposite. Being on your own opens you to connecting with new people. As Christopher McCandless found at the end of his travels, "Happiness is only real when shared."

Interests

Shamanism, Muay Thai, writing, cats, horses, making bad art, discovering new cultures, trying new food, everythign MExican basically...!

I have spent 9 months in Baja California Sur, Sinaloa and DF. Now super excited to explore Chiapas and Oaxaca 🌼

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent three months on a Mexican ranch growing avocadoes, surfing and taming horses... and wrote a novel about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

English, Spanish, Swedish, Creative Writing, Scriptwriting, personal development and stuff. Ummmm what else am I good at... basic tennis, horse-riding and surfing? I can cook you Thai, Mexican, Italian or Japanese food. They're the best. Teach me Nikkon?

Also I work a lot with shamanic medicine and I am studying to become a Psychedelic Integration Specialist, so if you've had a tricky mushroom experience we can talk 🍄😄
