To explore and learn

ABOUT ME

Every now and then I'll feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the privileged experience I've had to live in Sweden and so many other countries. When I think about it, I'm left in awe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly surfing and hanging out. Unfortunately my roommates aren't open to the idea of hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really love the cultural exchange that comes with CS. I've stopped in many random non-touristy places simply because someone is willing to open their home and share their lifestyle with me. It's far more interesting to me than staying in hotels to visit a city's most popular monuments.

Interests

I'm very passionate about a lot of things and you'll usually see it once I start talking about certain topics. Some of them include: fine arts, graphic design, film, sociology, and psychology.

In my spare time, I like to lift (powerlifting/bodybuilding) and salsa/pole dance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very eclectic taste and am open to all kinds of music, books and movies. Salsa is my favorite music though. I grew up in the US, but I've been listening and dancing to salsa since I've been in the womb.
