Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Walking in the sun...
ABOUT ME
I like music, traveling, people, to philosophy about everything, sports, psychology, reading (books/internet), eating together with friends, hanging out in the park with a good book/good music and friends, to laugh and have fun, dancing, enjoying nature, having deep conversations about life...
PHILOSOPHY
Learn from yesterday, live today, and don't worry about tomorrow.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like the idea of meeting new people either in their environment or in mine and its like passive traveling :-)
Sharing a good meal, a walk or do something fun together.
I like to find out what drives people, what they have experienced, their views and motivations, and how they're living their life.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couch surfing experience was Christmas in Norway in 2009. It was the best first experience one can have with CS. Our host defied snowstorms and drove through the snowy forest with help of her neighbor, who cleared the road with her snowplow, to pick us up in town. We could sleep in her bed, had lovely food and a great time together!
