I'm a smiling and adventurous girl who love to travel, dance salsa, work out and to live life.

Photography has been my job for 4 years. I love it and try to always improve so I can continue to enjoy it for a long time. Im working like crazy when Im home and travel as often as I can.

I’m also a Pilates instructor 1 hour a week and love an active and healthy lifestyle with dancing, hiking and all the activities that comes up. Last year I also decided to take a break from Norway to work as a sport and fitness instructor for Tui in Crete for 3 months.

I love to be social and meet new people, but I also enjoy time for myself. So I dont know if Im an introvert or extrovert, because I need both. People normally see me with a big smile being friends with everybody.

You can see my photography portfolio at www.veronikastuksrud.no

I also have a travel blog at www.ActiveAndAdventurous.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When Im travelling, I like to meet locals and get to know the culture and see their every day life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think we are ment to do amazing things all the time, but here is a few funny stories that happends when Im trying to live life.
- My visa got declined at the airport in Sri Lanka when I was going to India. I cried at the embassy, almost jumped out of a taxi, and a 1 meter tall raggae singer felt sorry for me and offered me a place in his "going to be" hotel with spiders around the bed until my new visa got approved.
- Forgot my passport at my hostel in Vietnam (after overstaying my visa by 1 day) and realized when I was on my way to the airport. Luckily I went back and found it.
- Diving with beautiful fish, sharks and turtles.
- Climbed over a broken bridge with another adventures girl I got to know in Thailand.
- Traveled to many places without a real plan.
