CURRENT MISSION

To once more get in touch with the important things in life and share these with my kids. To find the power of silence once more, and to open up.. And then, once more..
To absorb Life in every way I can. From quietness to noisiness, from crazy moments to everyday-experiences.

ABOUT ME

Me: Warm. Smiling. Philosophical and qurious. Love music, love dancing. Passionate. Often a positive thinker, but not denying the darker aspects of life.

I'm a mother of two beautiful kids, boy born april 2011 and girl born june 2014, they are my number one priority these days :)

I'm striving for balance in life, as I often see things from many different perspectives, and also place my feet in different subcultures. As a psychologist, I often feel like I will always walk the line between a foot inside the system with some understanding of how society works - and a rebellious and alternative way of thinking, that react instinctively to a society I feel is making us loose touch with our own nature and eachother.
By the way.. I don't drink much, and are not into other drugs, but accept other people's choices and like it when they accept mine.

PHILOSOPHY

We are creators of our reality with how we percieve and interact with ourselves and others.
I have a lot of thoughts, but they are mostly expressed in conversations :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I was a student I had a lot of surfing experiences, mostly in Italy and France while travelling alone, and three hosting experiences while livingin Bergen. A few years have passed, with finishing my studies and starting a family, and now me and my partner would love to have new experiences with couchsurfing, hosting or visiting when possible :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm so grateful for discovering Couchsurfing. I can't really imagine how my travels would have been without staying with people and getting to know them and their cities from a personal perspective. I remember many of these people like I remember old friends, even if I just knew them for a few days.

Interests

Being human. Being a mother.Experiencing music, both in concerts, from the stereo, or taking part in informal jamming sometimes (I love singing, for my own enjoyment, but I'm not proffessional). Communicating with people, getting to know people is like getting to know different worlds. Discussing and thinking about philosophical, psychological, weird or personal things. Laughing. Going for walks with no purpose or goal. Cats. Colors.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I can't really define my taste in music, I love something in just about any genre, maybe a bit more in singer-songwriter, indie rock tradition and electronic-world music fusions. I love music that suprises me and mix different genres. I'm not much into mainstream pop, though I can suddenly like dancing to a hitsong too :)

Movies: A movie has to move me in some way. Teach me something, make me laugh... I love films by the Cohen-brothers, and that humour. "The Hours" is also a favourite.

Books: Psychological litterature for my studies, Herman Hesse, "Momo" by Michael Ende (a fairytale, but reflection of reality). Irvin D. Yalom.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is a big word. I've had several amazing experiences, but you would have to crawl inside my mind to know that they where amazing, because it's all about experience.
I love the small absurd moments life has to offer.... And the ones that blow your mind with extraordinary weirdness or spiritual wholeness or sense of being one with everything....

My life has so far brought me lots of amazing moments :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a music lover, and sharing music interest is always a great treat. I also have some insight in psychology, both from studies and personal thoughts developed through experiences.
I have a bit insight in spiritual aspects of life. Mostly from my own experience and thoughts. But I'm no preacher. For example my hands sometimes make a positive difference.. I believe in energies and coherences I think we haven't come to understand yet.

My hubby loves flyfishing very much, and might share some knowledge to those interested ;) He is also full of knowledge about lots of things.
