Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Life is all about discovering.
ABOUT ME
I am addicted to nordic cultures, nature and languages. First of all, I had been living in Iceland for 9 months (2008/ 2009). Furthermore I had been living in Norway in 2010. And I have been studying "nordic studies" since October 2010. As you can see, I am a little obsessed ;).
I love homemade cake/cookies and icecream. I love to read and most of the time I am not picky what I am going to read. When I need some quiet time I often grab my knitting needles ( I just finished a skirt).
PHILOSOPHY
In Iceland I often got confronted with "Þetta reddast", which means that everything turns out well. It became second nature to me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couchsurfing experience was in Reykjavík and it was excellent!
I have been to Norway now several times in different cities (Trondheim, Olso og Tromsø) and I had a great time in each city. My hosts were really nice and obliging.

Teach, Learn, Share
Well, this is the image I have in mind:
You and me, talking about everything under the sun, sitting in your rocking chairs with blankets over our laps and knitting needles in our hands. On the table are homemade cookies or a cake. It is a lovely image, isn't it?
