About Me

I love to travel. I love to see and experience what mother nature has to offer. I live in the Arctic. No trees, no traffic lights, no warmth, and in the winter no sunlight. The summer is amazing because it's never night time, but that also means no northern lights in the summer. What we do have is a strong and friendly community and beautiful views as far as the eye can see.

I've hosted many times before on AirBnB, but I'd like to try hosting on CouchSurfers as well as be a guest and travel more.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm an "at home only vegetarian". I only eat meat when I travel or if I am at social functions. Is that weird? The more I travel, the more I appreciate other people's viewpoints and ways of living. Also, I think I'm slowly turning into a hippy which is a big change from a former, formal Ballroom dancer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love visiting new places and meeting new friends.
