I am outgoing but laid back, I'm social but spend a lot of time in my own company, I like spending time in front of my tv/ laptop but love being out in the forest. The list goes on.. Oh well, we're all hypocrites ;-)

My friends would (hopefully) say that I'm outgoing, sporty, energetic, funny (if you like a dark and dry sense of humor!) and that I make delicious meals (from my dumpster dived a la carte). So, that's me in a nutshell. Ish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel. No, I love to travel. Have been a quiet period the last couple of years, and I haven't used couch surfing that much. BUT, during two weeks on a bicycle (summer of 2015) - two danish girls saved me from many cold, uncomfortable and sleepless nights in my hammock. CS is genius. Nuff said.

Having such good experiences with CS - I would love to help others in my situation, show them around and make their stay worth while. Meeting the locals is usually the best thing about my travels, what better way to do that than CS?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rallarvegen in Hordaland and climbing "geita" in Svolvær!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned a lot from my travels, the kindness of strangers gets to me every time. Always follow your gut! And always expect to spend more money than planned! And, as mentioned- CS is a lifesaver.

Just let everything be exactly as it is! It is as easy as that.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift - that's why they call it the present.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how to make tasty food from most ingredients, so expect to be served (if you allow me access to your fridge). I can share travel tips and experience from travelling alone, on a budget - and on tight time limits. I can teach you norwegian/ swedish/ danish and maybe a couple of words in spanish or mandarin? And, if you have pets - I can give you loads of useful advice!! :-)

But please, no pets allowed in my home - and I cannot host smokers.
