I'm a bookish Norwegian chick of a philosophical persuasion, aiming to become a physicist in due time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being of a rather inquisitive nature I take great pleasure in exploring the minuscule corner of the universe currently available to me while I await the great breakthrough in interstellar and interdimensional travel - I always keep my towel close.

Interests

Literature, art, science, cooking, tequila, animals, social, political and economical science and psychology (which is really just slightly more chaotic science), space, stars, tequila, drawing, making snow sculptures, tequila, history, film, philosophy, mythology, poetry, tequila, trees, languages, folklore, nonsense, surrealism and the absurd, meteorology, tequila.

Note: Some of these topics might overlap, whilst other topics of equal relevance have been excluded because the author is lazy.

I'm also quite fond of walking, if you can call that an "interest".
