Hi! My name is Valkyrie, and I appreciate if you read my profile, especially the home section, before requesting to stay! Edit: Haven't updated the home section in ages and have moved since and generally mostly can't host at the moment :( I find it very difficult to write about myself, but I'll try my best. I'm 27 years old, Norwegian, and live in Oslo, (Update July 2023: Currently living at Langhus, about 30 minutes with local train outside Oslo. Close to Ski.)I like to hitchhike, I love animals, and I'm rather chaotic. My life goal is to be kind and compassionate. I love animals, and I volunteer in a cat shelter and a animal rescue organisation. I really like birds, and I've got a special place in my heart for wild birds. Especially seagulls. I also have a lease horse that I visit twice a week, and I've grown up with a plethora of pets. I'm vegetarian, but not a huge foodie really. I like chocolate and sweets, but recently I've been trying to eat a bit more healthy and become a proper functioning adult. A lot of trial and error on that part. I'm not good at cooking, and usually go for easy solutions. I like hiking, generally being outside, and nature. I really hate running, though. I believe true happiness in the sense of hiking can only be found in an Eulerian Circuit. I am fairly introverted and sometimes shy, but also enjoy socializing and chatting. Often I become a bit annoying and never shut up when I feel safe around people. I'm also like, super weird. I do care about animal rights, human rights, the environment, and I generally attempt to be generally kind and thoughtful to the world and people around me. I am not the perfect human I'd like to be, but guess I'll try and work on it. I'm part of the LGBTQ+-community, and I generally try to be open and kind towards strangers of all kinds. I generally prefer interacting with people I got something in common with, and share experiences with different cultures and growing up and living different places, learn about others interests and viewpoints of the world. If I'm home I can usually always make space for a hitchhiker if there's emergency need for a place to bed. I can show you some good climbing trees, my favourite graveyards, good hiking spots, some tourist attractions etc in Oslo and Follo, but if you're a party person I'm mostly not, aaaand drinking outside in Norway is hella expensive. Instagram @flyvendesjiraff Feedback from people that know me, translated into english: «You are certainly full of surprises...» - Ex-girlfriend (2017) «You are very clumsy; like it is no synchronization between your body and brain.» - Another couchsurfer (2019) «When I first met you, you were really shy and quiet, but after I got to know you.. You are not like that at all. You are really weird, actually.» - A close friend, drunk in the moment. (2019) «You're so quick, you remind me of a chameleon that's eating flies! » - Guest from Trustroots (2022) «*Nervous uncontrolled laughter* » - Flatmate when asked to review me. (2022) «Do you seriously want me to give you a review for a webside? » -Mom (2018) (And yeah I do smoke by the way, but not inside obviously.) Update: I'm attempting to quit smoking but it's not going that well really. Update 2: I've quit smoking. Update 3: Well.
