My name is Marie.
I grew up on the Norewgian vest-coast in a small city named Ålesund. The nature here is magnificent, and the area offers great adventures and opportunities.

"I long for the places not yet explored and those already left behind."

I love food, wine, antiques, I’m a proud poodle-mom, chef, and optimist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student, combining everyday life and economy with traveling is not always the easiest. I love getting to know new cultures and people, hope this can make traveling easier for me and others.
