Hi! We're two Norwegian gap year students traveling around in Southeast Asia and The Americas. We just graduated from high school and wanted to go backpacking before heading off to university next year. We're on a tight budget, as well as looking for locals and interesting people to share our adventures with. We're open-minded, flexible, tidy and responsible. We're also calm and grounded, but always looking for a good time!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to find a safe and home-like space in between our travels, but also meet locals to connect with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed at an old cabin in the heart of the Norwegian fjords, without water nor electricity, for an entire week. in the mornings we swam in the icy fjords, and at night we felt asleep watching the stars.
