About Me

I'm a friendly and happy person. A bit shy in nature, though I'm getting good at hiding it. I try to not take myself seriously, and don't mind being silly.

There are so many things I'd like to learn and experience, and not nearly enough time to master or see it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an excellent way to get to know more people from around the world.

I stayed a year in the US. It made it a lot easier getting set up, as I had a place to stay when looking for an apartment, which later served as a hosting place for other couchsurfers. I've also traveled to Japan and did a mix of couchsurfing and hostels/hotels. The couchsurfing experiences stood out as quite amazing.

Interests

Languages are fascinating and I've yet to get bored listening to a conversation between two people I'm utterly unable to comprehend.

I'm into any sport for fun. Been dancing salsa for the past 3 years or so, and teaching occasionally. Other than that, running in the woods, kayak trips in the Norwegian coast (though I can only do this when at my parent's place), or skiing.

Regarding music, I like progressive and jazzy stuff. I usually avoid repetitive music like techno, house and that stuff, not that it matters much. Time and place for every kind.

As for movies, this is so mood-conditioned that I can only say that everything goes. Sometimes I even like bad movies. I'm usually up for movie nights.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A little girl dancing inside a pickup truck in front of us, while waiting at a red light in Thailand.

Suddenly coming face to face with a moray eel while diving, and both freaking out, going "AHHH!!!".

Teach, Learn, Share

Eager to teach and learn anything.
