I am from Oslo, Norway and currently studying on Nordland College of Arts and Film. I am a big fan of loud concerts and special film screenings, love reading in the sun without sunscreen, walking while daydreaming, observe people on the street, taste new food that look weird, play instruments badly and pretend I am a seasoned sea hog when the fact is I am the total opposite. The right song (often 'Satellite of Love' by Lou Reed) will boost my energy and general enthusiasm towards life, so now you know :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet the locals of the country and city I am visiting. It must be the best way to get new friends and to explore "the real city" instead from some half-hearted tourist-guide on an over-crowded tour-bus. But that could be nice too. Always keen to hang out for a drink!
For the moment I unfortunately do not have a couch to share :(

Interests

I am basically all over feeding on books, films and music (as mentioned below) but are very open to widen the horizon. Surfing, climbing (only tried indoors), writing, hiking, skiing, drawing, footballing, traveling, acting/directing, you name it.
