ABOUT ME

I'm half American and half Norwegian, but if you see my wicked chopstick skills you'll totally think I'm Japanese. I spent five years living in Asia and traveling, but since 2015 Norway has been my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting during my two years in Japan was a great way to get some English speakers to join me on my tiny island, and make use of my guest room. Lots of silly times and good stories!

Over the past years I've surfed with some amazing people around the world. My top Couchsurfing experience would have to be in Iran though, where I was totally blown away by everyone's hospitality!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled the world! Well, at least part of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be happy to teach you anything I can, and I'm a very eager learner!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm afraid I don't have many impressive talents or skills to share, but I love simply to hang out and talk to new people! I've traveled a lot as well, so maybe I have an interesting story or two to share with you. And I love taking photos. Really bad photos.
