About Me

At 26, I'm a fervent traveler who's utterly captivated by the allure of new countries and diverse cultures. While I've spent nearly 7 years working at a pizzeria back in Norway, it's been a reliable anchor for me between my various escapades. I mean, let's be honest, we all need to fuel our wanderlust with some hard-earned cash, right? I'm the type who thrives on adventure and craves spontaneity, constantly seeking to meet and connect with people from all corners of the globe. Socializing is my forte, and downtime is a foreign concept to me. Who has time to relax when there's a world to explore?

For me, travel isn't merely about the destinations, but the joy, anticipation, and human connections that unfold along the way. I firmly believe that each person has something to teach and learn, making travel the perfect classroom.

My summers were typically spent on family trips until 2016, when my best friend and I embarked on a life-changing journey across Asia and Australia, fueled by our collective savings during our gap year. In 2017, I took the plunge into solo travel, covering a total of 11 countries. The liberation of solo exploration quickly became an addiction, one I can't imagine giving up.

In early 2018, I packed my bags and relocated to Manly, Sydney, to pursue a degree in International Tourism, an endeavor I had always envisioned for myself. The program was phenomenal, but my heart pulled me back to Norway during a summer break. Ultimately, the yearning for my friends and familiar surroundings led me to decide against returning to Australia. While my passion for travel remains unwavering, I've chosen to savor the experience by embarking on shorter journeys for the time being. Who knows what the future holds? Perhaps I'll find my way back into the world of travel on a professional front.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because I love to meet new people and different cultures. I feel that I get a bigger inside to cultures when I am staying with locals. Staying at a hotel is never a option for me when I go solo travelling.

I love to meet new people!!! Different people with different background.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled as a 17 years old girl to spain without my parents knowing. It was amazing (and scary).

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that I can share a big smile and positive vibes. I am a outgoing person and I take everything pretty easy and chill. I have a understanding for every human I meet and I also believe that I can teach a more open-minded way of thinking.
