About Me

I just finished my master's studies in International Environmental studies. As I live alone in a flat with an extra room for the moment, I might be able to help fellow travelers out with a place to crash if the dates add up

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing can be a beautiful way to travel and meet people. I like the concept and have mostly good experiences with it. So far I have couchsurfed Amsterdam, Thessaloniki and Budapest. In Thessaloniki I actually ended up living with my future roomie for many months after having couchsurfed at her place!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about Norway and give local insights into the capital and other places to go. As I enjoy going climbing and to museums, I'd always be up for that. Additionally I am interested in languages and would be happy to learn more
