CURRENT MISSION

Be curious whole life through!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small wood in the suburbs of Oslo, and both of my parents are artists. My younger brother is into writing and books, and I work with music: mainly opera singing, but am also playing the piano and improvising. I use most of my time to practice - and also enjoy concerts, dance and yoga. The rest of the time I'm hanging out with friends and my wonderful boyfriend, and sometimes I go for a swim with my grandmother. I like meeting new people with different backgrounds, interests and occupations, and learn and share with them.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for moments. Beautiful moments and memories. That is life for me. I think it's worth to work for them, and am thankful every time a great moment appear. If you look, you'll often find them! I have decided to be positive in life - because it makes me happy. Hehe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a shared flat right no with no spareroom, so I don't think it will be possible with guests very often. But I have hosted people before and hope to get that possibilty again. I have also couchsurfed one time myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted once, and couchsurfed once. Both were great experiences :-)

Music, classical singing, baroque, improvisation, yoga, gyrokinesis, theater, swimming, circus and bicycling. Am trying to learn more about anatomy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It went backpacking with my mum and younger brother in Vietnam when I was 13 years old. Fantastic to experience this at such a young age. At that time I was dreaming about backpacking again with friends, but have now understood that my mother is the best person to travel with. She's awesome, and you never know what'll happen. We had some fantastic adventures, and met people I still have contact with today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning languages and pronunciation to be able to sing in different languages.
It's fun to try new things - and the best is to try something that is cool that I didn't even know about.

I have a big interest in the human voice: It's a world of voices - it's personal, we communicate though it, and it's even part of the body language if you think about it. With different tones, registers, it can tell a lot about what you feel - even without words. You can train it and explore it - it has so many possibilities. If you would like, I can learn you something about the voice or music (espacially classical music and opera).
