Overview
About Me
Norwegian foodie and beer nerd. I also enjoy hiking, wine, concerts and books. I love traveling and meeting new people. I study social work, and work with unaccompanied minor refugees.
It's been a long time since I've been couchsurfing, but I'm looking forward to getting started again as I am planning on doing a lot of solo traveling in 2019.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think it's a very social way of traveling, and a good way to meet locals.
I also enjoy hosting people, but am unfortunately not able to do this at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveling to Nicaragua when I was 18, because I wanted to learn Spanish in Latin America. Before that, I had never even been outside Europe (and barely anywhere outside Scandinavia).
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach you about Norwegian language and culture. I would also love to learn about your culture. Please help me with my French?
Also, I cook. Mostly Mexican and Mediterranean, but I can also fix up some classic Norwegian dishes if you want to try it. It's not that tasty though.
I am very able to show you around Stavanger.
