About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I know most people don't have the chance to see the world and I am truly grateful that I am one of the few with this opportunity. I've learnt so much from my previous travels and I'm sure this is the best investments in my life.

ABOUT ME

I hold a bachelor's degree in PR and communications management and work full time in Oslo, the capital city of Norway.

Previously I've lived four years in South America, Ecuador and four years in Africa, Kenya. I spent one year in Kenya working in a childrens orphanage.

Meeting new people, exchanging experiences and cultures gives meaning to my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is something you choose.
You not happy? Choose differently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My schedule is pretty full these days, due to two different jobs on top of studies, so it'll be hard for me to do a lot of hosting at this point of time. I will however do it if I have the time.

I have not yet tried to couchsurf myself, as I'm all new to this. But I am planning on trying it for my next big trip, witch will be i South East Asia.
