About Me

Easy-going and friendly. I won't talk your ear off but I enjoy hearing a good story.

My status is often set as "Not accepting" as the amount of requests otherwise can be a bit overwhelming with the current tourist boom in Reykjavík. If you somehow find me anyhow, feel free to send a request. Please note though that I normally don't know my plans well ahead so the best is to send a request not much sooner than a week in advance.

Also, standardised requests are much more likely to get a standardised decline than if you indicate that you checked my profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My awesome friend (and former neighbor) is hosting and she introduced me to the concept so I thought I'd give it a try. I haven't regretted the decision!

Interests

Love growing things. Long distance runner. Yogi.
Cinema. Cooking. Travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Five amazing travel memories:
Biked through Denmark totally broke, camping illegally and living on tinned ravioli.
Back-packed through Thailand, island-hopping and diving in the clear waters.
Traveled from Kampala to Dar es Salaam by local bus, boat over Lake Victoria and train through the plains.
Climbed Mount Cameroon (4095 m) through cloud forests all the way up to steaming volcanic craters.
Celebrated midsummer in a desolate farm house in north Iceland with a group of friends with nothing but mountains, horses and eternal sun surrounding us.
Spent a weekend alone in Minneapolis, which ended up being extraordinarily social, getting invites to backyard barbecues, art gallery openings, and a vespa-sightseeing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know my way with plants, can offer tips and advice!
I'm also certified yoga teacher (don't teach much though) but can most certainly offer some cues for yoga sequences
