My name is Josefin, and I have just moved to Oslo for an exchange semester. I usually live and study in Aberdeen though I'm Swedish.
Previously to starting university I was travelling for 4 years. I started off living and working in London, then I moved to Iceland where I worked on a sheepfarm. After that I moved to Australia and New Zealand for a bit over 2 years, working, backpacking and surfing my way around.

I love travelling as one could probably guess, and experiencing new cultures and meeting people. I enjoy being in the nature, hiking, skiing, surfing etc, and coffee is probably the most important part of my day.

During my travels i used to couchsurf a lot, but since I was travelling with a friend at the time we used her account. So if anyone wants to see references concerning me, look for Minna Havstad. Couchsurfing is a great idea as it allows travellers to meet new people actually living in the place one visit, and to stay with them rather than staying in a hostel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing as I want to meet locals in Norway, and not just other Erasmus students. It would be really fun to meet up with people for a coffee or a tour or a beer.
