About Me

Currently travelling in Greece, I hope to meet lots of people here!

ABOUT ME

I wish to travel to many different countries and experience new cultures and to meet people who have something to teach.

I am especially interested in Arctic countries, as well as East Asia and the Middle East. But I always get reminded of how special every country is when I met people from elsewhere, and learn something about a country I hadn't previously had a particular interest in.
But I love any place with a mix of mountains, ocean and unique landscapes!

CURRENT MISSION

To explore Europe in my campervan and live a simpler, happier life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to invite people from all over the world who are travelling to Norway to come and stay, but it requires a little extra interest in my lifestyle to be my guest (vanlife). But if you need a pal to show you the area and introduce you to the country, I'll happily be your guide! :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, only positive experiences! I have met many people from many countries, and had lots of interesting conversations! I even have some friends for life now!

Interests

I love slow things like reading, drinking tea and drawing. The activities I do are usually slow-paced, I enjoy sailing and hiking, as well as skiing and skitouring in a non competitive way. I typically listen to music whenever I can, and haven't decided on a genre yet.
Meeting people makes me happy, and I love to do activities together like swimming, walking, playing board games, cooking dinner together...
I enjoy time alone and time with friends. I love a good balance; being alone gives me energy, but being social boosts my mood and makes me happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bowie, Odd Nordstoga and Shim Eun Kyung... It's a happy mix.

I love almost everything, but some songs don't stay. But I'll never get tired of the BeeGees, the Beatles, and Michael Bublé. I love songs where you can easily sing along.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtripping the South of Iceland with a friend, all the way to the glaciers. I recommend everyone to visit Iceland!
Now, Greece is my new adventure, and I hope to travel the many interesting countries of Europe in my van!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know if I have anything to teach, but I love to learn about cultural and folk traditions, and am eager to make new friends!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind and a love of many different discussion topics. Bring your opinions, mindsets and knowledge, and I hope to learn something new and useful.
