CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people, visit interesting places and learn interesting things. Above all, have fun!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel but have now done the boring grown-up thing of getting a full time job. That means I am in Sydney for the near future and may need some foreign visitors to bring the culture to me!

PHILOSOPHY

When I am having a good time it's usually because I have good company, am having a new experience or am learning something interesting. That is why I like to travel so much... if you're lucky you are having a new experience and learning from it with great company. I suppose I live my life for those moments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only surfed once and had some acquaintances stay in the place I just moved into with two friends. See one of my housemate's profiles here: http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/redskirts/
(My other housemate doesn't have a CS account yet but I can assure you she is cool).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new here but I have met a few people who are more active members of the CS community, both people who surf and host. I've heard nothing but good things so far!

Interests

Travel, of course! Music and Movies although I don't make either. I find languages quite interesting although I know vitually nothing. I'm always impressed by people who can speak many languages. I studied statistics and have a love hate relationship with mathematics. I also studied biology and find it very interesting but can't remember half of what I learnt. Of course I am also interested in meeting new people and having new experiences which is why I'm here!

I have been trying to watch more norwegian films lately to help me learn. I really enjoyed Buddy and Hawaii, Oslo. Suggestions welcome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a few amazing experiences whilst living and travelling in Norway: Northern Lights, Hiking Preikestolen and walking across a frozen lake while it's snowing. Not the kind of experiences you can have in Australia!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you a card game! And might be able to help you improve your english (if you feel you need to!).

Learn: I would love to learn about cultural traditions and old wives tales from other countries. Australia is too young to have much of that!

I also need to practice my norwegian - noe norske mennesker kommer til Sydney?
