CURRENT MISSION

Establishing myself as a translator and a writer while I figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Try to travel around more. Enjoy my life and appreciate what I have.
I´ve been travelling in Thailand for the past two months and while writing this I´m in Myanmar. Heading back to Thailand and then to my home in Spain in the beginning of November.

ABOUT ME

I come from Iceland, but I reside in Valencia for now. I´m make a living as a freelance translator but want to get more involved in my own writing. I enjoy the freedom I have and travel on regular basis.

PHILOSOPHY
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear" - Jack Canfield
Keep it simple and try not to let my ego get too involved.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve hosted a few couchsurfers and enjoyed my time with them.
I love travelling and I usually do it on a budget. Couchsurfers are often open to exploring different approaches to travelling.

I did couchsurfing in Africa. It´s a wonderful way to travel and can create unexpected possibilities and open up a whole new world which is out of reach from your hotel room.
