About Me
CURRENT MISSION
livin it up in New Orleans
ABOUT ME
Swedish traveller. Laugh a lot, laid-back, open to all mind-boggling experiences. Spent a couple of years living the crazy life of London and a couple more travelling Oz and NZ. Running my own sea kayaking business together with my ex-boyfriend. Living a relaxed life in an old house way out in the idyllic Swedish countryside in the summers and off adventuring the rest of the year. Fell in love with New Orleans and am now staying there 6 months a year and lovin it.
Good company, good food, good smoke...that's all I'll ever need...
PHILOSOPHY
Easily turns into cliché in this section...hmm...the best things in life are free ;-) ... no, but maybe that I'd rather have a stress free and interesting existence with lots of spare time than tonnes of cash and no free spirit.
Interests
Travelling, long trips with lots of freedom. Overly ambitous vegetarian cook and vegetable grower. Quite the slacker. Enjoyer and admirer of nature in all its forms. Sea kayaker of course. Mostly just love hanging out, but all good slackin needs to be mixed up with some new stuff and people pretty damn often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
On a quest to make it up coastal california without paying anything for transport or accommodation. Just had a blanket, a pot and my oh so important spice & herb collection. Slept on beaches, in the woods, in cars, on people's couches. Cooked gourmet food on the fire and just enjoyed every minute of it.
