About Me

I'm a Norwegian who loves traveling, singing, dancing, going to the cinema, kayaking, strolling around, visiting museums and cafés, eating, reading, listening to music and relaxing. I grew up in Bergen, a city surrounded by mountains on the west coast of Norway, so obviously I'm also a fan of hiking.

I dislike sharks and snakes (but would still like to visit Australia and South Africa) and really like kittens.
I also like soap bubbles, wine and beer.

Both my boyfriend Per Kristoffer (PK!) and I just finished medical school in Tromsø and Oslo, and have relocated to Narvik to start our medical internships. So exciting! We will both work a lot, but have Bern hosting from time to time. However, we will not be hosting for a few months as we are moving and having friends and family visiting (not hosting until June 2018).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- I may be able to host from time to time. Send me a request and I'll get back to you asap.
- If you have any questions in general about Narvik or the north of Norway, don't hesitate to ask.
- If you'd like to meet up for a coffee, beer or a hike, let me know!
- I have only spent one night as a couchsurfer myself, but would love to do it more!
