Overview
About Me
I'm a 21 year old Norwegian wanting to explore and see the world. I've been photographing most of my life, making me notice the small things and appreciate them more. Where others see negativity and defeat, I aim to always see opportunities and a chance to grow. I want to learn something new every single day to grow as a person.
Humor is a big part of my life, and I truly believe everything gets better with a little laughter - but I also enjoy serious conversations about heaven, earth and everything in between.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I recently quit my day job, believing life is much more than a 8-4 routine job. I'm currently traveling around Asia until May, and whenever I get the possibility, I want to stay with locals. It's a much more giving experience than staying in guest houses and hostels.
I'm hoping to be able to surf and get new friends all over Asia. Then maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to show them Norway!
Interests
Most things can be interesting if talking to someone passionate about it. I have so many interests yet to be found, so maybe I'll find them while surfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Visiting a poor family in Wamba, Kenya, and living with them for a few days. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget. It has taught me so much. At the end of the stay, the newborn baby in the family got named Mika.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you about photography or video - and the editing. Maybe we can make something cool? I want to learn more about sustainable living and life as a vegetarian. How I can do small personal changes to help out in the big picture. I really enjoy learning about almost anything, though! All learning is good learning.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Well, I wish I could promise delightful meals. But I'm really not a good cook. I can help out with things around the house, I'm actually super handy! Got a broken car? No problem, let's fix it! Or maybe clean, do the dishes, cut the grass or something like that. I would of course also love to share more about the Norwegian culture and learn more about the local one. I enjoy good conversations and I'm a big talker...
