Hello! My name is Marie and I am from Asker, Norway. I just graduated from the University of Oslo with a bachelor degree in Social Anthropology.

I am very new to CS. I have so far only surfed two times, but I have made great friends from it! And I hope to make a lot more friendships with people from all around the world!

I consider myself a very happy, spontaneous, and adventurous girl, and I love getting to know new people! My favourite thing to do is to travel, and that is why I am here on CS. As a student of anthropology, I absolutely love learning about other cultures and lifestyles. I think that in the globalised world we live in today, it is very important that we get to learn about other views and perspectives of life. I also love staying close to nature and being active! I am very concerned about preserving this beautiful planet that we live on, and to not harm any other beings or species that we share this world with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting and learning about new people.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many amazing things that I have done throughout my life, especially that involves experiences abroad. However, these are the amazing things I have done for myself. What I think is more important is what we do for others. One thing that I have done that involves human beings is doing volunteer work for refugees. Another thing that I think is a really amazing change in my actions and choices is when I decided to stop consuming animal products, as I learned about the disturbing facts about animal agriculture.
