Overview
About Me
I get up to 20 requests every day in winter time and I really don't have time to read them all so don't even write me if you don't READ THROUGHT MY PROFILE (home section also)!!
If I needed to choose one word to describe myself that would be CURIOUS. And if more..
I'm lost-in-space person who has no idea what comes next in her life. I like to put myself in different, sometimes even complicated situations, and to find out more about myself this way. Some people say I lack self-preservation, but I like to call it "being adventurous". Always up for odd experiences. With open mouth, ears and eyes I'm eager to experience and learn. I try to beat my nightmares with my dreams. I try to live in a world with no borders and that's the reason I get lost sometimes.
Cheers and love
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been surfing many places in my life and met incredible people. I've travelled too much and never had a steady-enough lifestyle to host people, but since two years ago I settled in Norway and I'd like to use this chance to pay the community back and host people.
I should note that I'm an experienced Couchsurfing user who happened to be living in a pretty popular winter destination so once again, please put some effort to read through my profile before bothering to write me a copy-paste request that I will decline without even reading it.
Interests
I'm ok being in the crowd if I'm in the city, but I also enjoy nature a lot and I prefer it pure and personal.

Music, Movies, and Books
I tend to fall asleep while watching movies, I live with music, I don't read as much as I want to but when I do I enjoy it a lot.
