Overview
About Me
I am a traveller, love meeting new people and exploring new places. My life started out in a small town called Moss, a 40 minute drive from Oslo - capital of Norway. My family and i moved to Hong Kong when i was 8 and we lived there for about 4 years. I met amazing people, who i still keep in touch with, travelled to magical places with my family, and explored what i could at an age between 8-12. And thats were my dreams of traveling the world began. After moving back home to Norway, to the cold winters and cool but refreshing summers, i missed the adventures and promised myself that when i finished school i would travel. And that is what i started doing. I did a year abroad in New York in high school, and met another set of awesome people from all over the world.
My thoughts were clear and my dreams were clear, but i didn't know in which order i wanted to start perseuing my dreams in. So i ended up being taking a ski instructor course in Austria. I quickly figured out that it was something i did want to work as, so i got a job as a ski instructor in Austria. I worked for a couple of months then quit to go do real backcountry skiing with the people i then shared a house with. The skibum life, was a life i could live. Forever. So i decided to do another season. This time in Canada. I started out in Big White and am now in Revelstoke for pretty much the rest of the season. After this i have no idea what i want to do. Maybe go backpacking somewhere?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am a simple but fun person who loves to meet new people and travel around, and why not meet new people by staying with them? I have never done it before but it sounds amazing and am very willing to try it out! I live in Norway and would love to host at some point, but at the moment am traveling around.
