About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be curious and learn a lot!

ABOUT ME

I like to talk and listen and teach and learn. Going with the flow is my ideal state of being although I do love making plans as well, it's part of the fun before a trip! I'm easy to get excited and I do see the silver lining and possibilities in pretty much everything.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that because we can't really understand why we are living, we should just try to let go of it and accept that and maybe make the most of our time here. Experience different circumstances and emotions and welcome everything in our way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm farely new at this, but so far I'm loving it!

Interests

Music, people and their opinions and beliefs and experiences, cultures, cooking, knitting, nature (especially rocks and water)...

  • cooking
  • knitting
  • music
  • equestrian
  • snorkeling
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Would be cool to list all the really artsy movies that I've seen, but mostly I watch romcoms :D They don't usually change my life but are entertaining. Really good movies (like lifechanging almost) are made by Woody Allen, Lars von Trier and Pedro Almodovar.

Music, well, the last few years I've been thinking that Graveyard, Junip and Erykah Badu might be my favourites. I'm not a huge lyric-person, the atmosphere that the music creates is more important to me.

I read soooo much less than what I would like to admit, some of my favourite books have been Gunther Grass's The Tin Drum, Sofi Oksanen's Purge and now I can't remember any others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling with whales in the Arctic Sea in Northern Norway in December with almost complete darkness during the whole day and the weather being cold and skies snowing. <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty curious person so I deffinitely want to learn EVERYTHING others have to offer. I'm especially interested in cultures and cultural identities.

I like teaching, so if the opportunity presents itself, I'm gonna go to my teachingmode really quickly. Sewing, knitting, playing an instrument, knowledge about the Nordic countries, languages, horseback riding or whatever you think I can do better than you, I can do my best at trying to teach it!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Botswana, Norway
