I am a veterinarian living in beautiful Ryfylke/Stavanger, Norway. My house has a large garden with almost 200 fruit trees, as well as a vegetable garden. It is about 45 min away from Preikestolen, and 50 min away from where the boat to Lysefjord/Flørli stops, on the road between Tau and Hjelmeland.

I work for the Norwegian Food Safety Authority in Sandnes. I live in Stavanger but spend most weekends in Årdal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love travelling and enjoy meeting new people. The house in Ryfylke has room for guests and I welcome fellow travellers who've come to explore this part of Norway.

Interests

I am passionate about food security, animal welfare and sustainable farming. My hobbies include gardening, foraging and sewing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Isabel Allende, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Erlend Loe - at the moment reading On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Enjoy a good movie - and sometimes a less good one too! Lars von Trier is a favourite :-D
