I'm a Norwegian 23 year old student who's been to many countries, I've never tried couch surfing but I really like the concept and I'd like to try both staying in someone's home and hosting someone else myself one day.

I am a little bit shy in some contexts and not at all in others, I don't really understand it myself. I like being a guest and a host, and I think hospitality is an important virtue that gets forgotten too often. It's important to be both a good guest and a gracious host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I sometimes travel places and couchsurfing seems like a great alternative to hostels and hotels, because the traveler can save on costs while both the traveler and host can have some nice experiences together.

Interests

I love language, but I'm also interested in history, religion, culture, science, local customs, food, drink, etc. I love going to museums, historical sites, and learning about the places I go to.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kinds of music, especially Folk music, Klezmer, Brass Band, Gypsy Punk, Orchestral music, and Ska.

My favourite movies are ones that make you think or feel something.

I've read a few books, some of them classics and others more pulpey. I like to read litterature from different countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not exactly amazing, but one of my best memories from traveling is when I was in Hong Kong last year and walked up the stairs to the Big Buddha. Most tourists go by bus, and it took a long time to get all the way up. So it felt like an accomplishment, at least.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a little bit about a lot of things, so there's a lot to talk about. I can also cook and I'll bring a little gift.
