About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See old buildings, meet new people

ABOUT ME

I'm a thinker and a dreamer and a troublemaker. All in good spirit, though.
Originally I am from a very small town, located in the heart of Sweden, but have not officially lived in Sweden for a few years now. I have bounced between the States, England, Bulgaria and Spain, however, last year I decided to put down my suitcases and settle in London for a while. I have now started my undergraduate in applied linguistics, but before the second year starts, I am hitting the road! I am hoping to see a fair bit of Eastern Europe, and to end my travels on a beach in Greece somewhere.

I am very adaptable, I don't mind pets, smokers or alcoholics (that last one is mostly a joke). If you have a busy schedule, don't feel the pressure to entertain me, I am used to travelling alone and I will be grateful for anything between a couch to rest my head on to recommending a nice pub in the area. I will be happy to return the favour if you ever need a place to stay in London!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I came across CS when I lived in Dublin the autumn of 2008, in the flat where I lived we had several surfers on our pink lovely couches and I came to really like the idea of doing the same when I go on travels.

Interests

I love sports and nature, being active and being hyper - and on the flip side - I 'll spend a whole afternoon in the sun with a cappuccino, ciggies and a good read. I'm chatty (and will not be offended if you tell me to shut up) and I know it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am very restless; a movie has to be bizzare or extremely funny to intrigue me. Almodovar is a name I'd consider putting on this list, however, I am never really quite sure when the movie is finished. Did I like it, or was it just... pretentious.

I LOVE reading! If you are the kind of person who reads your books on an Ipad, we will not get along.
I don't have favourite books, they vary all the time. I always bring Sylvia Plath with me, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
