About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Let's explore South East Asia! With my boyfriend we have been teaching English in a small town in Thailand for past few months. With the end of a semestr our mission here is also coming to an end and our next plan is to explore as much of the region as we can before we come back home in August 2016. We are planning to visit Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar.

ABOUT ME

Biologist. Books lover. Tea lover. Dogs lover.

PHILOSOPHY

"There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is."

'What day is it?' asked Pooh. 'It's today,' squeaked Piglet. 'My favorite day,' said Pooh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe that only local people can show you the hidden beauty of many places and share their stories and history.

And I have the best CS experience so far! Anytime we are in need, amazing people of couchsurfing land are always here to help. I couchsurfed twice & hosted once (with my bf and through his profile) and together we organised a small party for musicians in Bergen, Norway, in the summer of 2012.
I have heard so many great experiences from my cs friends and now, that I have my own profile, I hope, I can rewrite this part soon to add more of mine personal ones!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken part in Lions Youth exchange programme and it has allowed me to spent 5 amazing summers in different parts of the world, to meet many local families as well as other people from all over the world. I was able to experience so many amazing cultures, opinions and ideas and I learnt that even with our differences, we all still have so much in common.
