Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I just came home from a year in Argentina, so my current mission is to keep my spanish alive, keep meeting new and exiting people and learn more about the world and us humanbeings.
ABOUT ME
Wow- all about me... Well, I love to dance and to sing. I sing most of the time, and sometimes I`m not aware of it. I dance salsa, bachata, lindy hop (the oldest type of swing- the most fun dance in the world!!), tango (still learning) and makarena (Hey makarena!). I like learning languages, so I speak English as often as I can, and I really love Spanish. I like meeting new people, and I`m not shy, so I do meet a lot of new people :)
PHILOSOPHY
1) Believe that I`m a good person that people will like, and that I will like them.
2) Always look on the bright side whatever happens.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Ì`ve met several people in their cities when I have been traveling and use it to find a host if I need a place to stay. Planning on offering myself as a host when I get my own appartment.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In April I was in Berlin and I got to live with this wonderful girl who really restored my faith in the kindness of human beeings. I`m serious. It was amazing! I also had a drink with another girl whom I was going to stay with in Berlin. IT was super Nice. And last years this guy contacted my when I was living in Buenos Aires and we hung out. Fantastic to be found just like that and have a new friend!
Interests
Music: I love traditional jazz, but I like a lot of different music, as long as it is not too heavy... I love to sing (I dream of one day singing in a band), and I dance different types of couples dances. I ride my bike almost every day, and I love to be outside. When it rains I sometimes put on my rainclothes and do the raindance.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love Harry Potter and used the books to learn spanish vocabulary. Cecilia Samartin is one of my favotite authors, and when it comes to music Blossom Dearie, Billie Holiday, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Jamie Cullum are some good musicians.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The stary sky in the mountains of Kirgystan and in the mountains of Norway are one of the most breathtaking experiences I have had. Skydiving in Argentina and cycling Deathroad in La Paz, Bolivia, also comes high up on the list.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, I speak Norwegian, English and Spanish, so I would gladly share my language knowledge. I dance salsa and swing and could teach you a step or two also. You can teach me about the culture you are from. About how your country works. That interest me.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I`ll definitly bring you some Norwegian chocolate :) And maybe I can make you breakfast?
