About Me

CURRENT MISSION

hurry up with living. Because it's so great, no time to loose

ABOUT ME

Curious. Sometimes funny, sometimes melancholic. Loving. Sometimes explosive - both with joy and nerves (not in the same time, thankfully). Inventive. A little crazy. Helpful. Not lazy at all, active, very active. Lucky to be happy:)

PHILOSOPHY

Do your best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I surfed more then hosted, but i can do the opposite now - my job is like that I don't have to much time to travel but i have a spare room i can offer and a big need to meet new people and listen to their stories:) nothing is more inspiring:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best coach surfing i've ever had was in north of norway - in Alta and Kautokeino. In Katuokeino me and my friend stayed for two weeks in the house of a theatre director, we cooked togehter, spend evenings together, sing together and in a meantime i was shooting my documentary about reindeer herders. Best trip ever!

Interests

I'm a journalist. I love to look for stories, to find them, to analyse them, to write them. I love doing research. I love listening to people, getting to know them. I love to work - to do my projects, to come across an idea and then to bring it to life. I love reading diaries and journals - this is the best way for me to learn - about the world, about people, about history. I love to dance, i love to laugh, i love to drink good wine and to go to concerts, festivals, music:) i love climbing mountains. And almost all of those things i love to do with my friends:)

Music, Movies, and Books

Many of them. One more important then the other. But let's give it a try. Movies: Orlando with Tilda Swinton. I love this story. Books: mailny journals and diaries like the one from Shirin Ebadi, Noble Prize Winner,titled Iran awakening. A memoir of revolution and hope. Music: i love Peter Gabriel, he's my spiritual father;) Little Dragon, David Sylvian, Tori Amos, Led Zeppelin... oh too many of them to mention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing moments in my life were:) sitting by the fire on the reindeer skin in the middle of covered with snow nowhere (far north of Norway) with couple of Saamis reindeer herders, drinking coffe and listening to them singing yoiks. Priceless. Climbing Kazbegi mountain in Georgia in a hot lazy summer and then puting my tent close to the glacier and sleeping under beautiful georgian sky. Picking almonds from the almong tree growing in between huge volcanic rocks in Gran Canaria and later sleeping by the fire in a rocky cave. I love when it's wild...:)
