About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel as much as possible and see as much as possible before it's too late.

ABOUT ME

I like to think of my self as quite open-minded. I love to meet new people and to explore different cultures. I've been travelling a lot so I have friends from all over the world and have met people who have inspired me in different ways.
I like to do things and go places where not so many people have been. Laying on an over-crowded beach somewhere next to a resort in a typical tourist country doesn't interest me. I prefer a quiet beach in Mexico or even a small city on Greenland surrounded by ice bergs.
When I go somewhere new, I want to see the place through the eyes of a local or at least escape from the tourist traps. Life is too short to spend three hours in line to get into the Vatikan museum. It's better to get lost in the beautiful streets of Rome.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is like a book, and those who do not travel only read one page."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As much as I love to travel, I also love to have people in my home. Especially foreign people. Not so many people now a lot about Norway. Some people even think it's a city in Sweden!! Going to Norway by your self is great, going to Norway and stay with Norwegians is even better!!
