About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying tourism

ABOUT ME

All about me? No. Then there would be no secret to discover.

I am studying tourism from this autumn, have a travel agency in South America, and am interested in song, music and esoterism.

I like dancing and swimming, and sharing deeper thoughts and feelings.

I believe in emotional liberation and development, and want to be enthusiastic and have the possibilty for being in a kind of ravissement when travelling.

Seeing art in new towns is more or less the main reason for travelling, except from the fantastic feeling being in a new luxury restaurant which you can afford only this very few times a year while travelling. And knowing something about the politics of the country or place you are visiting also could be extremely good.

And talking or learning something about the language of the country you are visiting.
Sometimes I like to give massages, sometimes I prefer not to do it.

I am also interested in how tourism could have been done the best way possible, because I both have a travel agency and am studying tourism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host people who maybe are a little bit special, who are a little bit of hippie or artists or have some special kind of idea, do the things they really love in their lives or are trying to do so, are politically engaged about something etc
But it is not at all a prerequisite for sending me a host request.
It is nice to be in contact with "average" people as well.

I like to be in touch with people travelling, and I like a combination of staying in hostels and being hosted while travelling, I am that kind of person who like to be alone and have some real privacy from time to time.

Also I think that cs could have a system of reduced offers for people being a part of cs, not as an obligation, but as an opportunity for people travelling and wanting some great experiences as well, not minding to pay a little bit for them, but also wanting to do things for free, like being hosted and exchanging things with your host.
Both should have the opportunity for being done.
In my opinion money is not anything bad, but a way to stimulate and inspire people, good at times, bad at other times.

Also a system for working while travelling should be worked out, I think, because cs is always full of people asking for and applying for jobs all the time.

I live in Lillehammer right now. I am studying tourism and trying to develop a travelling concept in South America, where I have/had a boyfriend.
I like political discussions, preferably with people who have yet not given up the thought that it is possible to do something to improve the world situation, there is still things not being satisfying.

Please write the word amore in your request if wanting to be hosted by me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a lot of good experiences with couchsurfing, first and foremost in Peru, where I found the people very interesting and helpful!!! The helpfulness was incredible!!
I want life to be good, and my worst personal trait is a high sense of critical thought...
But it can be good as well, and I am to the fullest able to enjoy life in all its variety!!!
I like to do something good for people offering them a free place to stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

Personal philosphy is to give as much pleasure as possible to as many as possible. Must include myself, because without good experiences for me there will be no joy to share for others who meet me..

Learn and discuss, to tell, listen and be silent.
Sharing things from your imagination.

Exchanging language skills and motivating each other to improve and learn more according to languages.

Talking about how to stimulate people and pass tings over to them to affect them in the best way possible.

Stimulating the economical situation in the world through your behaviour.
