About Me

I'm trying to save the planet by arranging climate festivals in Norway and writing about how we should all slow down and take better care of our selves and the planet. A part from that I play the accordion in two different accordion orchestras, I dance salsa, I do yoga, meditate, read loads of old books, walk in the mountains, go cross-country skiing, I hang out with friends, cook, go climbing etc. I used to live 1 year in Chile, travelled through Brazil for 4 months, lived 4 years in Spain. After finding out flying was really bad for the environment I try not to fly as much as before, so the past years I've travelled mostly in Norway. My next mission is to start travelling by train.

As a person I'm quite sensitive and calm, but at the same time very adventurous so I love meeting new people and getting new experiences. I prefer deep, meaningful talks about the wonders of life rather than small talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently working as a climate change journalist in Oslo voluntarily, which means I don't have much money to spend when/if I travel. A part from being more economical, couch surfing is a more personal and meaningful way of travelling than hotels/airbnb. Some of the best experiences I've had travelling was when staying with couch surfers in Brazil.
