Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
ABOUT ME
I'm a young girl from a small fishing town in Iceland - called Neskaupstadur. Town that is surrounded by mountains and sea. I have always wanted to travel the world and learn as much as I can, and see as much as I can. When I graduated I wanted to take a break from school before I start university.
Started my journey in New York and traveled in the states for one year. I'm so full of live and open for everything. Couch surfing is a great opportunity to travel and meet interesting people, get the chance to experience their hometown with local point of view.
Now I am in Norway and figuring out my next step.

Teach, Learn, Share
What is courage? What defines a courageous act? It is said that the brave and cowardly person are both fearful. However, it is the brave one who faces his fear and does what needs to be done. We will be faced with many things that scare us throughout our lives. How can we become the kind of people that face our fear and do it anyway? Human growth takes place when we take small steps. Each time we face our fears we become more of the courageous people that we would like to be.
