Bonjour everyone!

I'm Kia Linnéa, a positive, curious and social girl from the North. I currently live in Oslo, where I study, work and enjoy life as best as I can. I have a strong interest for peoples and cultures, and my main drive in life is working for social equality. I have a BA in culture and communication with a specialization in social anthropology, and at the moment I'm doing a MA course in social entrepreneurship. I have a dream about starting my own social enterprise one day. I'm also working as a kindergarten assistent on the side of my studies, a job I absolutely adore. Children are our tomorrow! Maybe not surprising, but travelling and meeting new people is my absolute favourite hobby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider it an amazing way to meet people, establish new relations, exchange cultures, get to know new places and experience/learn things I never would without it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed the night in a Maasai village, Tanzania

Teach, Learn, Share

Love is my religion. Cultural relativism is my methodological principle. There are always at least two sides to every story, ergo there are many thruths. Can you teach me your way of doing things/seeing the world around you? Let's always strive to understand each other, no matter how strongly we disagree. Peace.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive energy, interests, knowledge and cooking skills. Maybe a massage, if you're lucky :)
