CURRENT MISSION

To be happy

ABOUT ME

Me and my daugther are a small family of 2- Kaja 38 years old and Zila 6 years old.
Zila loves listening to music and to dance. Zila also likes to draw, bake and play with her dolls.
Me - Kaja enjoy bringing up my dagther, but I am also very passionate about my work. I am an architect but is now working as a design project manager for a big Norwegian constructing firm.I have been living in Switzerland, Sweden and France before returning to my hometown, so couchsurfing is a great way to keep in touch with the big world outside.

We like to spend some time with the people we host.I would also be happy to give advice about what to do in the area.

PHILOSOPHY

Be openminded.

I used to go a lot to the cinema, but now I mostly watch cartoons with my daugther. I enjoy all kind of music from all around the world but I especially love samba- music as I used to (and still try to) dance samba.

Participating with my samba-group in the Carnaval tropical de Paris
Watching people rushing off to work at the World Trade Center station early in the morning.
