About Me

I'm bored of going to Spain. There is a city in Spain called Torrevieja where my parents have decided to settle down, there's 80 percent swedes in Torrevieja. It was of course nice during childhood, having another place to call home, but nowadays I'm looking to explore things new.

I haven't only been to Spain, I've traveled a lot, but not enough! After graduation I traveled parts of Asia and went for longer travels to both Germany and Spain (not Torrevieja). I've couchsurfed a bit before and am looking forward to do it again, finally! That's why I want to travel, to meet new people and make connections. To see places through the eyes of someone living in them.

When not travelling I'm studying literary composition (literature in short, but practical) and working. I work in bars and amusement parks. In between I like to go bouldering or drink beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people and make connections. Couchsurfing is an awesome alternative to booking an hotel and just hanging out by yourself or people you already know. Meet new people - that's the deal!

Most of all I aspire to learn from and get to be around people from all over the world. I don't want to be kept in a safe little bubble all my life. Travelling prevents that from happening and, from what I've experienced, makes people more understanding and sympathetic in general.
