CURRENT MISSION

Live and Let Live

ABOUT ME

Hello,

I am a student attending university in the US. My school having amongst the highest percentages of international students in the country, has taught me to appreciate intercultural conversations to a great extent. Through my international friends from school and numerous encounters, I more and more come to appreciate learning about different cultures and countries. With all the great stories and descriptions in mind, all I want to do is travel and see it for myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Many depending upon the mood of the day, but in general I just want to live a fulfilling life with few regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While in Oslo, Norway (summers) I am happy to meet for a cup of coffee or a drink. I can also assist with some simple guiding. In Minneapolis, USA I might be able to offer you a couch, but will more often be able to meet up for a drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None - so far.

Interests

Politics, philosophy, discussions, sports (pretty much anything, but top 3: soccer, beach volleyball and ice-hockey), travel, meet new people, read, be with friends and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looked into the face of a North Korean soldier across the border at the DMZ.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share from my own culture and language (Norway/Norwegian) and gain new cultural experience from the people I meet. Any practical knowledge I can gain in addition would simply be a bonus.
