We are a family living in Bergen; Erik (viking chief), Gunn (head of family), Arina (10 years old, pirate daughter), and Meri (8 years old, wisest sailor in the family).
If you want the "true Norwegian experience" we must warn you that only half of us are Norwegian (although the other half is Swedish, so still viking).

We have long experience from couchsurfing, both individually (well, not the kids) and as a family. Both surfing and hosting.

Despite the Viking appearance, we are very kind and seldom pillage. On the contrary, we usually gift both hosts and guests with something to drink and eat (quality may depend on the surrounding situation).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, get new experiences, and most important to teach my daughters about people and the world. Couchsurfing is the way to shape them into a new generation of hippies :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the ocean from within.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a lot of things, depending on how long you stay. Yoga, woodworking, sailing, or what to do when you meet a bear.

Learning, i am intrested in almost everything so i am sure there are stuff you can teach me as well :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

With hosts, I would always make a good dinner and also clean the dishes the entire stay :)

We can share lots of stories, and i am sure our children can entertain a little :)
