I'm Madeleine, a curious, happy and passionate mellow girl from the south west coast in Norway. I live and work as a freelance photographer, bike messenger and a personal assistant in the capital, Oslo.
I'm curious and eager to try new things. Music, dancing, art and mountain bike are huge passions. Human relationships and different cultures really interests and fascinates me. Nothing is more beautiful, fun or soothing than being in the nature, either to hike, camp, swim or mountain bike. I smile a lot and I love to share stories and knowledge. I enjoy getting older as I get more secure and gets a clearer picture of what's important to me to have a good life. When traveling is when I feel the most zen - it's the best thing I do in life.

PHILOSOPHY
Unconditional love

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

When I travel solo I either couchsurf or do workaway. That's because I want to get to know and live with the locals. Let them show me the hidden beautiful view spot or the best street food in town. Meet their friends and family and experience how they spend their time together.

Hitchhiked over 3000km in Norway in 12 days.

Watch one of my favorite bands, Sigur Rós, play at Roskilde Festival 2013. It was pure pleasure for both my eyes and ears. Most beautiful and emotional live music experience I've ever had.
