I'm 32 year old Icelander, living in Reykjavik, Iceland. I'm a pretty active person who likes to experience new things, watch interesting films, photograph people, draw and travel.

**Short bio**
I grew up in Borgarnes, a small town in west Iceland. When I was 16, I went as an exchange student to Czech Republic and grew up some more. There I met awesome people and did awesome things that changed my life. After a year in CZ I returned to Iceland and started high school majoring in Multimedia Design. After graduating I got into the Iceland Academy of the Arts and grew up a bit more, went to China to study Shaolin Kung Fu for a few months. I got a job as a designer for an interactive design firm called Gagarin and took my MA in design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
