About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and let live! To travel, meet new exiting people and trade culture, stories and knowledge

ABOUT ME

The company of good friends, a good book, riding a horse, listening to or playing music, a glass of red wine, a good dinner, a proper workout or a new experience. My normal life develops around my studies, I study medicine, and although I'm from Norway, I currently live in Poland because of my education. When I'm in Norway, I work at my local hospital and spend time with my family and friends. So wether you're in Norway or Poland, mail me and maby we can meet up :)

PHILOSOPHY

To fill my life with as much fun, crazy people, impulsitivity, laughter, vondering, care and abnormality as possible. I allways complete what I'm doing no matter what, and I hope that I can look back at my life when I'm an old woman and smile from all my memories. I believe that if you want to do something, you shold do it. I feel extremely privileged that I'm born in a wealthy country with a good health, so that I can live my life just as I want it. That's also one of the main reasons that I study what I study, to be able to help people that are not as fortunate as myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a social person with a big network, so I'll help spread the word about this fantastic project. Hopefully, I have a lot of good experiences ahead of me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since 2010 i have had great experiences with CS! I have also met a lot of people on the road in Southeast - Asia, that I would never have met if it wasn´t for couchsurf! Poznan, the city where I live, has also a very active local community that I´ve been meeting up with for a couple of times, great people and great experiences :)

Interests

My biggest interest is people, and that is one of the main reasons that I joined CS. I find it very interesting to meet new human beings and to share experiences, thoughts and opinions. Other interests are medicine, studying, animals, especially horses, I've had horses since I was a little girl. Music, and I also love literature.

Music, Movies, and Books

Alltime favourite books:
1. Carlos Ruiz Zafòn: La sombra del viento. Makes me want to visit Barcelona, which I'm gonna, just not yet ;))
2. Gregory David Roberts: Shantaram. (Oh India, India!)
3. Markus Zusak: The book thief
When it comes to music or movies, my general answer is "YES!" I watch and listen to wathever comes along.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To move to another culture, from Norway to Poland, was a big change for me. I've also been a Robinson Crusoe, padling from island to island outside the Greek isand Lesvos. I've skydived and spent a week on a horse in the norwegian mountains called Rondane. I´ve also backpacked around asia, and most of all, I'm looking for more experiences like this!

Teach, Learn, Share

Born and rased in Norway, I think I'm pretty good at our unique culture! Since I'm also a medical student, I keep getting suspended in surgery, pathology, internal medicine and other related topics, but this is kind of geeky ;) When it comes to what I want to learn, I have to say anything! I'm a curious person, that loves people that has a really passion about something! Can't be more attractive than that!
