About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live my life!

ABOUT ME

Well, it's hard to know where to start. I seldom have much time as I'm always doing something or planing to start to do something new. I love to meet new people and to learn new things. I seldom get bored as I occupy myself with reading, writing, traveling and working. I also enjoy some sports as swimming/diving and dancing. In between all this I study nanotechnology!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a true optimist. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned, but then I probably learn something, and all in all I only loose if I never try! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Available couch, and travelling when possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed twice in Sydney, and my experiences from that are really good! :-)

I have also lived with another family for a year in Tunisia, and later on my family received a girl from Indonesia who lived with us for a year and then I visited her family (two weeks).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach natural sciences, as I am particularly fond of that. I would very much enjoy practising any language in order to get better at it. I'd also enjoy dancing, both learning and teaching. In return I would like to learn to know other cultures and other people.
