About Me

I'm usually a student, but right now I'm in the middle of a gap year where I have been working in the US and now I am traveling around the world on my way home. I have lived in 5 countries (Norway, Italy, Japan, UK and US), and I like to believe that I'm competent in several languages.

My major is finance and management, but I have several passions. The most important ones are food&wine, traveling (obviously), sports and politics/culture.

And of course, meeting new people. I tend to ask a lot of questions and end up in long discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet new people, listen to their stories and experiences and share my own.

From 7th of April i will start my ATW-trip from Austin, and my first destination will be Peru. This will hopefully be a 4 month adventure full of experiences and memories for the rest of my life, and I hope that Couchsurfers around the globe would like to share their culture, perspectives and experiences with me when the time comes.
