Hello! I recently moved to Norway for a year of research on refugee health and I am trying to make a film too. I MIGHT be able to host you for 1-2 nights maximum!

Before moving to Norway I lived for more than 2+ years in Kyrgyzstan, a year in South Africa, and in the USA in Seattle, Washington DC, Atlanta, and a lot more places for shorter periods and travel. Most of my traveling around has been based on school programs and global health jobs and then I add as much travel as I can in-between.

I really enjoy seeing new place and meeting people, spending time in nature and with animals, reading and making art, and also exploring cities. My favorite activity is hiking in forests. I care about keeping my body and mind healthy and experiencing compassionate connection with others.

Top countries/places I haven't been yet, and hope to visit next:
Greece, Indonesia, Vietnam, Sweden, England, Tanzania, Latvia, New Zealand, Spain's Canary Islands, Argentina.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
