About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Master's Student in Sustainability in Sweden"

ABOUT ME

I have an insatiable appetite for learning, exploring ideas, innovative projects, and the serendipitous life experiences present themselves. I love discussing urban design, social impact, public art, listening to live music, and dancing, hiking, walking, and practicing yoga. I adore people and the magic of spontaneous creative places but mostly when the places come alive by being accompanied by a local.

PHILOSOPHY

"consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative" - Oscar Wilde

"Be the change you wanna see in the world" - Mohandas Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love showing and hosting open, interested, relaxed people around a place I know. I realize increasingly I don´t like travelling but rather seeing a place from a creative individual who is living their.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have unofficially hosted and been hosted by many beautiful strangers over the years and it has always been a stunning experience. Couchsurfing widens the serendipitity of it but this is a truly needed aspect of my life and the world which I am excited to be a part of! Thank you for the opportunity to connect!
