About Me

ABOUT ME
I love traveling and meeting new people (obviously). I'd like to call myself a positive person and I believe life has so much exciting to offer!
I have lived in several countries as I am very interested to experience different cultures and lifestyles. I recently moved back to Norway after living in Stockholm.

If you are going to visit Bergen, don't hesitate to contact me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to use CS when i travel so I can get to know local people and not just do the typical touristy things. I'm not the 'suitcase and hotel' kinda traveler (well, let's be honest, I am when im traveling with my family).However, I believe it's limited how much you can really learn about a country/city and its people by only visiting tourist attractions.

I'm happy to show people around in Bergen, and go for fun nights out etc. I love hearing and sharing stories!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have caught up with several CSers in Bergen, and that has been a great experience! I also took use of CS when I traveled in Germany and Australia, and it has been nothing but great!

Interests

Family, friends, traveling, showjumping, running, hiking, skiing, climbing, gymnastics, mountain biking and reading!

I'm also very facinated of the human brain, and therefore have a special interest in psychology and neurology . I also like physics.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a professional showjumper, so if you fancy horseriding, I'm happy to teach you!

If by chance anyone is interested in radiology, I'm also happy to help!

I love having conversations with open minded people and reflecting/discussing different topics!

What I Can Share with Hosts

You will be staying in our boathouse which is approximately 5 min walk from my parents house. It's equipped with a sofa, tv, balcony and toilet. There are also (limited) kitchen facilities. I can drive you to the tram station which will take you to the city if I’m not working. My working schedule is a bit annoying, so I won't host if I'll be working the whole time you are here. I also want to say that I get really annoyed by people who just want a free place to sleep and ignore what CS really is about. My house is not a hotel. Ultimately I expect my guests to leave it like you found it on arrival. :)
