CURRENT MISSION

Travelling and experiencing the world

ABOUT ME

At the moment we are not able to take any more surfers, when we are available again, we'll change the status back! :)

We can normally only host during the weekends ( Please do not request only weekdays as we get many requests and will pick among the weekend-ones. Also, we only reply to couch request with the couch surfing button, not messages.

Then finally, to the about us part: We are a 28 year old couple currently living in Oslo. Pablo is Spanish, and studied Environment at uni. After working as an environmental consultant in Spain and England, currently finds himself working in a kindergarden in Oslo while learning norwegian. Siv is norwegian and is a teacher specialized in languages. We live together in a cozy apartment in Oslo, and we share our passion: travelling world wide. We have both enjoyed studying and living abroad and love visiting new places:)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We see couchsurfing as a great way of meeting local people when travelling and to save some accommodation costs. We have enjoyed surfing around the world and now we have just started hosting in Oslo

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since we started in CS, we have had the opportunity to surf in several countries, including England, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. The overall experience has been extremely positive.

We have rescently started hosting in Oslo, and so far that has been just positive too! We se hosting as a way of expanding our social life in Norway as well as getting to know the surroundings better.

Interests

Pablo enjoys photography, history and geography, movies and sports (specially football and tennis). Siv plays the saxophone and a big band and really loves big band music. she enjoys TV-shows like Desperate housewives, grey's anatomy and X-factor UK. She likes cycling, but more as a means of transport than a sport. For working out she uses her spinning bicycle or goes swimming. She also likes dancing salsa although it has been a long time now!

Together we like to watch films with popcorn, cook Indian or other foreign and exciting food and watch the spanish TV-show cuentame. We both enjoy reading books as well
