Heia,
I spent three years of my life in Norway where I majored in English linguistics and literature. Lived for some time in Germany where I was studying German. Former leader of a student organization at the University of Tromsø.

I'd like to get to know people from all corners of the world. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to meet up and want me to show the city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world not only on my own but with other people for whom traveling is also one of the main pursuits in life.

Interests

A little bit of everything because the depth of my interests is relatively shallow, though now I'm interested in educational management and educational program design.

Traveling. Even though I don't do that as often as I want.

I'm also interested in cultures (especially East Asian), geopolitics, stoic philosophy, psychology, history, societal issues, visual media (tv series and anime especially), literature, and really into languages and everything related to them. Music, postcards, tea, good cuisine. Sharing experiences. Can't live without YouTube!

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost no favorites. I have a sort of a love-hate relationship with literature, and I prefer digestible long reads and articles online to reading actual books.
I listen to almost any kind of music and usually go far beyond certain music genres. More than that, I'm really into lyrics in other languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled the Trans-Siberian railway back in the day when I was 10 or so. More to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

Experiences, stories, concepts, tips, memories and so on. Sometimes even controversial topics if it's called for.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, experience and willingness to share it. I'm flexible, considerate, easy-going and like to have interesting conversations about virtually anything. Don't really care what to sleep on as long as it's relatively warm and comfortable. If we happen to go out, drinks are on me :)
