About Me

I am working in the field social work/public and mental health care field, and is from the westcoast of Norway (Haugesund, not Avaldsnes). After many years in Oslo I moved to a beautiful little island community called Træna, in the Helgeland-coast. If you find your way out in the North Sea you are very welcome here. 🙏🏼

From 2012, and for 2-3 years, I used to organize CS-meetings together with a fellow couchsurfer twice a month with the great community in Oslo. I have warm memories of those meetups.

My CS-mission: CS is a safe space. Many couchsurfers that I have met think of couchsurfing as a peace project where the profit is meet, exchange, have a dialogue, learn. Let’s keep up the community-spirit and keep organizing meetups and events internationally 💚

While traveling I love to share moments, knowledge, reflections and ideas on many topics and my trips and activities on trips are often a bit based on intuition and spontanity. I have very good experience with shorter and longer study trips abroad in social work/human rights++.

I am quite calm and curious - and love a good laugh. I am happy for the many good meetings through CS and some are friends for life.

I love to write, sing, attend festivals in film, art and music, hiking and hoping to start with free diving.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in the highest-lying lighthouse in Norway alone for a month when I was 20.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a cozy home by the sea, stories in the community sauna in Træna, good talks and laughter. If I am on the mainland I can meet there:)
