About Me

ABOUT ME

I love painting! If u couch-surf at my place, u get to enjoy some of the art around my walls too :). I also love partying, so I'll be able to show u around town if u're the partying sort. Most of all, I love meeting new people and learning more about different cultures, so as long as u're human, I'd love to host u! Lol

PHILOSOPHY

Live life.
Love art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just set up a film club with other CS-ers from Oslo

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have done more hosting than surfing. Some highlights include: chocolate body paint in the mail from 2 lovely Austrian surfers, practising French with numerous French surfers, hosting an Italian surfer on the beach in Singapore, playing frisbee with Singaporean CS-ers, and forming a film club with Oslo CS-ers.
