I live in Bergen, working on my masters thesis in comparative literature.

I love travelling and meeting people from around the world, to learn new things and get to know new new perspectives. I am not able to do too much travelling at the moment (though I have big plans for later), but you also get a long way with having an explorative mindset just where you are :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet good people, exchange ways of thinking, have fun and live simply+cheaply.

Interests

I spend my time reading, listening to music, walking in nature, playing games (board games, quiz, etc), practising yoga, meditating, dancing, volunteering and learning languages. I love (vegan) food, both to cook it and to eat it. Other things I enjoy are art exhibitions, history, crafts, a glass of wine in good company, etc. And also I love hearing about other people's passions and interests!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to France by myself for 6 months with almost no money, just doing wwoofing, Workaway and couchsurfing, meeting lots of inspiring people and learning their language.

Teach, Learn, Share

My mother tongue is Norwegian, and I am fluent in English, and can help with these languages if wanted.

Would love to speak French with someone. Also learning a bit of German and Spanish and could use some help there too!

I can cook vegan food, maybe even try to cook a vegan version of some Norwegian specialty?

I can tell you what I know about travelling in Norway, good places to see etc.
