About Me

Hi everyone :) I`m born and raised in Norway, but lived most of my life elsewhere. I ran a small social enterprise in Madagascar for five years before Covid-19 moved be back to Norway where I now work in a business cluster supporting the norwegian energy transition. I enjoy the contrasts in mindset, culture, nature and way of daily life between the south and the west, and couldn`t settle for one lifestyle at the expense of the other.

I`m open minded, spontanious, nomadic, peaceful and wild at heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people :) I’ve been surfing couches allways when travelling alone, although only recently through this platform. Couchsurfing is the best and most fun and memorable way of visiting an unfamiliar place. I enjoy the unexpected, the connections and adventure that are bound to happen when staying with people who are humble and interested enough to open their homes up to friends they just havent met yet.

Interests

I enjoy taking chances, getting inspired, meeting new friends, creating something beautiful, embroidery and tailoring, being off line, walking around, swimming, all kinds of weather, driving, eating, drinking, meeting people, sharing life stories!
