About Me

Clinically-optimistic and easygoing Norwegian,

Background in visual arts, pedagogic, clowning and circus arts. Due to an injury I got in April I'm taking a break from the world of performing arts and I'm currently studying to become a Arts and Crafts teacher as well as working as a Physical Theatre instructor.

I travel a lot and because of this I have friends all over Europe that I like to meet every once in a while for a little dance and stargazing.

I love meeting new people and exploring new places.
I like to think I'm entertaining.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in Copenhagen and can occasionally host here, or, if not maybe offer guidance on other places to stay.
if not, I'm always happy to meet new people.

Interests

Puppet theatre, circus, chocolate, music and the woods.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once attempted to cycle from England to Denmark with my friend Maria,
it was great and terrible, nice and hard, warm and moist, terrifying and ecstatic - beautiful and fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could thoroughly introduce you to "The Norwegian Language Conflict",
or, alternatively, just share some Norwegian.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could show how to make simple Bunraku puppets out of some string, cardboard, tape, news paper and sticks. I could tell some folkstories and sing a few folktunes for entertainment.
