About Me

I'm 47 years old, and I work as a primary school teacher.
I have two children (aged 16 and 19 years old) and a Danish-Swedish farmdog called Max 🐶
Now and then I’ll have a couch available for couchsurfers, so please feel free to contact me if you're looking for a place to stay (maximum 2-3 nights).

☝️ Note! Unfortunately it’s very hard (if not impossible) to find affordable accomodation in Tromsø, and there are almost no active Couchsurfing hosts here. Before buying your tickets for going to Tromsø, I recommend you to make sure you have somewhere to stay (and me myself, I can only host now and then).

🌿 People who travel eco-friendly (for example by train and bus, instead of by airplane) will have a bigger possibility to be hosted by me :-) 🌿

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of good music (it’s not the genre of music that matters to me, but the quality of the music, so it could be anything from classical to grunge :-) ). My favourite film is «The Piano» by Jane Campion, and in general I prefer independent films. I love to read all kinds of books.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers, but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company".
(R. N. Remen)

I love to cook! I can prepare dinner for you 🍽️
