Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment by occasionally hosting surfers and meeting up international people in Skövde for a coffee or drink. I want to stress though that couch surfing is about a cultural exchange not a free bed. I you want to surf with me you need to tell me why it would be a nice experience to do so, and why we would have a good time together.

Also, I have been travelling a lot in the past and have many international friends that I keep in contact with, and thus, I am not interested in chatting with strangers from other countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I dived all in by attending a CS New years party in Oslo 2008/2009. Since then I have attended some different Stockholm events. Hosted a few lovely surfers and above all been dazzled by the hospitality of the Iranian couch surfing community. I have also had a wonderful surfing experience in Madrid, and was treated to a guided tour of Chisinau with a salsa-experience while visiting Moldova. When I moved to Gothenbourg for some months I used Couchsurfing to make new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make Swedish pancakes and explore Skövde with you.

I love to try different regional foods and would love to learn to cook something from your country. I'd also like to try to improve my salsa steps, as well as digging deeper into the world of yoga and yoga philosophy. In addition, I am very interested in what other people have a passion for. So if you have a cool hobby of some sort, I would love to know more wbout it.

I used to be more into clubbing when I was at university. Nowadays, I do like a glass of wine now and then. But if you want an all-night clubbing adventure you are a better match with another host.
