I am Lina. And I am from the country where our definition of dangerous is putting expired milk into our morning coffee. From the country where everyone is depressed during winter due to lack of sun and hysterically sleep-deprived during summer because the sun refuses to go down. From the country where IKEA and Spotify was created. The country otherwise known as Sweden.

An optimist with a can-do attitude, a high level of tolerance towards most things and curiosity aimed at everything which I haven't already explored.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to gain new perspectives from people with different cultures and get to know people from all across the globe.

Interests

Nothing makes me equally as happy as striving towards a goal and watching myself progress towards it. This means I challenge myself in the stupidest of ways sometimes and pick up some weird habits and interests along the way.

• vegan
• running
• video games
• chess
• languages
• football
• activism
• playing music
• programming
• zero waste

Music, Movies, and Books

I struggle with being a passive participant, as is usually the case with books and movies. I prefer to be in the action like you are in video games. Favorite games include Overwatch and World of Warcraft, neither of which I have enough time to maintain as proper hobbies.

Anything goes where music is concerned. However, my musical Achilles heel is music with a funky vibe or sound - I'll be moving my body involuntarily (but more likely voluntarily).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haven't taken the time to reflect on this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you programming!! :D
I would love to learn about your culture

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, stories and my perspective on life. I am also big on hugs which I've been told is a Swedish thing, we're apparently huggers up north - probably because of the cold weather.
