I come from Norway, but am living in Edinburgh in Scotland and will be for the foreseeable future to take my degree in Linguistics. As well as linguistics I do language courses, now half a year of Italian and in the next semesters Turkish. I will say I am, but that would probably apply to any account in here. I am also normally easy to talk to. I'm a youngster in the scene. The last couple of years I have traveled in Turkey, Spain, Italy, Germany and Austria.
Sadly, living in university halls means that I cannot have people here without much fuzz, but I am looking forward to next year getting my own flat and being able to meet some of the people visiting Edinburgh.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

We all know being in a new city alone can feel quite daunting and even at times uninteresting. By meeting other people in foreign countries I have found an amazing connection with them and the place they live.

Interesses

I have played the clarinet for about 10 years, and have developed a talent for it without being gifted. I decided against taking music in university. Instead I chose linguistics out of interest and love for how we communicate and express ourselves, as well as how we can communicate with our amazing technology. In addition I have taken an interest in calligraphy and writing, particularly of the traditional scripts.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

I like to listen to any music containing a clarinet, I listen to classical music and I can take a liking to any music that has some kind of musical talent behind it. For reading, I like any historical novel (Follett, Cornwell...) or some of the great classics like Tolstoy. I also read a lot of popular science, like Jared Diamond .

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Does it count to say I saw the northern light? Even though it was like every other during winter. Maybe not, if so: Meeting my first Internet friend in person and realising I had never seen that person, yet feel a strong connection to them.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I speak Norwegian and English quite fluently, can get around well with German and have picked up quite a bit of Turkish grammar, as well as standard phrases and some basic words. If any of those interest you, then be sure to bring it up. I have also done a semester of introduction to Italian.
If you want to discuss, want tips or share knowledge on any of my interests, it is an easy topic to talk to me about.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I can offer an interesting talk over some good food or a glass of good wine or beer. A curious, never ending series of questions about your language or your city, and perhaps someone to come visit in the future where I live.
