CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

My name is Lone Olivia and I am from Denmark.

I love traveling and meeting new people. I have lived in Zanzibar, Thailand, South Africa, Canada, Spain, Borneo, Australia, UK and most recently Malta. My bucketlist is still quite long and entails more of North America, the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Apart from traveling, I am a huge fitness- and coffee addict. I spend a lot of time trying new coffee shops when traveling; see my blog from Vancouver bit.ly/LoneCoffeeReviews

I also love talking about online business ideas and always try to learn more. I am passionate about online marketing and work with this on a freelance basis.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."
- James Dean

"Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller!"

- Ibn Battuta, Moroccan explorer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting up with fellow CS'ers - for coffee, sightseeing, hiking, surfing - anything really. It's an awesome way to meet like-minded people and I can honestly say that I have made my best friends from this site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to be able to state them all here. Not anymore! Simply too many :)

I started using Couchsurfing back in 2009 by a little help and recommendation from a great couple in Australia. Since then many great things have happened. I now use CS for a lot more than just 'surfing' - activities and making new friends where ever I go.
