CURRENT MISSION

Live, learn, laugh, love - travel, taste, tickle, tangle...

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy-going, straightforward, active, friendly, chill except for my enthusiastic moments, very very curious, quirky at times... I love nature - clouds, trees, waterscapes, animals etc. - as well as the urban life (a balance). Creative and philosophically practical :) A weakness for felines of all sorts, and many kinds of beauty. I'm told I have an atypical sense of humor :)

I'm keen about preserving as natural an environment as is possible... Working *with* nature is much more sensible than working *on* nature... I firmly believe a fantastic way to design great solutions comes through biomimicry: the art and science of using Nature's time-tested patterns and strategies to resolve challenges societies face :)

Studied in biophysics, computer science, journalism and saving the world (check it out - http://bth.se/msls) :)

PHILOSOPHY

Karma is like a boomerang
Quality, not quantity
So met hin gsar eno tlik eth eyse emt obe
Start something. Then have fun experimenting...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm considered by my friends to be a mix : wants to co-create a better world, creative, loves sport, enjoying conversations, sociable, seeking fairness... But I also like to slip away from all the agitation, and go to quiet, natural places to recharge...

I like to learn about people's experiences, travels and culture. See what they like, taste what they eat, hear about what they think! :-)
