About Me

I am an outgoing and social person that enjoys getting to know new people from all over the world. The world is a small place and why not try to get to know as many as possible? I am an easy person to get to know and as you know:

"A stranger is just a friend you havent met!"

Besides this I like to travel, eat, sip coffee in the morning, drink beers in the evenings and relax with a book..Music is big part of my life and I both like listening to music but also "move like Jagger" from time to time. I like to "shake my ass" to electronica music, but I do like a lot of different genres as well.

I am an honest person and I speak my mind. I have learned that it is ok to say "no" from time to time, but I try to say "yes" more. You never know what a yes can bring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It started with me wanting to meet new people and I have met some pretty darn nice people and gotten friends for life via CS.

It is a good way to learn more about different cultures and people as well.

Interests

I have always enjoyed cooking food and eating food plus learning more about food from different parts of the world and I often try to take cooking lessons when I am travelling. Besides food are beer something I enjoy and I am eager to try lots of different beers. I do like a glass of wine as well, but I am not as knowledgeable about wine as I want to be (even though I am good at pretending).

Other interest is photography (streetart is a big part of it), movies, tv shows, friends, music, travelling etc. A lot could be mentioned here, but I guess I have similiar interests to most people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and I have read a lot and I try to at least have 1 book going at all times. I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi, but I can enjoy other genres as well.

Movies..oh my. That is difficult. I do love to watch a good movie. And I am not a big fan of those big Hollowood ones, but limited and more authentic movies is more my style.

Music is probably the biggest part of my life. A good beat and melody gets to me every time, no matter genre. I can get sucked it from indie, electronica or a soft jazzy tune. Fun fact: I used to DJ back in the day!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun setting when swimming at Cayo Levisa in Cuba <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about other cultures/countries and people's mindset and thoughts. Meeting someone new and just spending the whole night talking and laughing is a good way of learning and teaching I think. Meeting someone that is very knowledgeable is also something I like.

Sharing thoughts and creating room for discussion and new ideas is important. Mutual respect for others beliefs etc is also something I believe in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about Norway, tips about travelling in Norway etc. I think I am pretty easy going and polite...I also like to go out and explore, I would not mind buying a meal or a beer..or help out preparing meal ( I love to cook and learn about other countries' food etc...)..
