Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is move than just a place to stay, it's a wonderful way to connect with people from around the world. In my (limited) experience with couchsurfing & hosting, I've had the opportunity to meet and share stories & experiences with some lovely people I never would have met otherwise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a jewellery designer back home, and have a brand of Scandinavian / Japanese - inspired jewellery, made from recycled leather. I really admire design that utilizes recycled materials, and try to incorporate it into my work as much as possible. One of the reasons I'm travelling is to learn about art & handcrafts from around the world, and observe the designs & motifs associated with different cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, conversation and plenty of fresh travel stories. I'm also pretty handy in the kitchen and can mix a mean cocktail. I'm more than happy to help you practice English as well, if you're learning the language.
