About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see as much as possible of Scandinavia while I live in Sweden. Next trip: Helsinki, Norway and Iceland!

ABOUT ME

open-minded, easy-going, curious, fun-loving, active person who loves to be outdoors

PHILOSOPHY

wander for distraction. travel for fulfillment

"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another, and no sunrise finds us where left by sunset. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of that tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind to be scattered." - Kahlil Gibran

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to the whole Couchsurfing World but I hope to gather some experience as soon as possible!

Interests

I love to travel and to read, get to know people from all over the world. I love to cook and to bake - try out exotic recipes and get to know foreign cultures by tasting their food and drinks.
Another thing I really enjoy is the great outdoors. Camping, hiking, kayaking or just lying in the sun and enjoying life with friends.

in short:
I like good stories, good beer, great food and the best people

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wake up at 5 in the morning, stumble out of the Van (still half asleep), sit down at the beach with a cuppa to watch the sunrise and spot a hole pod of dolphins playing in the waves. Camera still in the car... Who cares! No way I'm going to get up to get the camera and risk missing this beautiful moment!
