I'm from a tiny town in The Westfjords of Iceland. I want to see the world and continue learning more languages. I'm a philosopher at heart and journalist by training. I used to work as a communications officer for UNICEF but now I'm out traveling.

Currently I am in Casablanca, and staying in Morocco for 5 weeks before leaving for Moscow and the Trans Siberian Train to China.

The things that motivate me the post: the environment and saving our planet, feminism, children's rights and sailing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I believe in the sharing economy and it is also so much more fun to travel and meet and stay with locals instead of wondering about alone. I travel alone quite a lot and I enjoy the company of new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend to buy to many books because I just want to read them all and then I end up having three half finished books next to my bed.

I like reading Laxnes, Einar Mar Guðmundsson, Hertha Muller, George Orwell, Jane Austin, Earnest Hemingway, Franz Kafka, Hemingway, Robert Fisk, Stefan Sweig..

Currently I'm listening to Eels, Bon Iver, Sigur Rós, Mugison, Valdimar, Fine Frenzy, Mumford & Sons, Bonnie Prince Billy, Gus Gus, Radiohead, Seabear, Regina Spektor, Bright Eyes, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Bob Dylan..
