I am a very simple and practical woman living a simple content life. My goal in life is to achieve happiness. Like I said, simple. :)

I was shy before but these last years have made me want to meet new people and listen to new stories. I love stories.

If you meet me, you might at first think that I am not interested in the things you are saying (might also be true) but most of the time I was just listening. Sorry, working on that. Don't give up on me though :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a chance to meet new people from around the world.

Interests

I've always been interested in culture, art, music, travelling and meeting new people. Well, at least I'm working on the last part.

• arts
• culture
• traveling
• music
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read, mostly fiction and children fiction. J.K. Rowling, Roald Dahl, H.C. Andersen and Grimms Brothers, Enid Blyton, Astrid Lindgren, Ransom Riggs, Haruki Murakami, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, John Green, Jeanette Winterson. Any book written by these authors, I will happily read.

More into British and Icelandic music, gloomy songs soothe me somehow. Radiohead, Blur, Oasis, Coldplay, Suede, Keane, Aqualung, Sigur Ros, Bjork, Of Men and Monsters.. Also like few American bands like Incubus, The Killers, The Script, umm.. John Mayer, ah it would be too many to write here. Basically a song with easy tunes and good lyrics, I enjoy listening to.

War movies, European movies, Wildlife Documentaries, Dracula Movies (Bram Stoker's not Stephenie Meyer's kind of Vampires, please note). Abstract Japanese Movies and animes are also on the list (Ghibli Studio's ftw).

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning new things, especially languages and cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can do almost anything by myself and I promise I won't make any scene. :D and I will help you clean, I am a bit of a neatfreak.
