CURRENT MISSION

A home is a place where someone cares about you.

ABOUT ME

Please read my profile before sending your requests - I respond to personal couch requests, but never pick surfers from the open request file. I prefer to host people my own age, mothers and children, youg adults are also welcome. I have a dog - so if you're allergic, my home won't be right for you.

Live Traffic StatsLive Traffic Stats
I cherish long walks and long talks, a swim in the fiord or Baltic see, days either working my a.. off or dozing in the shade with a good book in my lap. I can dance all night if the music is contagious and the crowd is right, or I can stay indoors playing CDs and paging through art books. Lazy picnics summertime or lively dinners with candels and jazz in the background innsiden - it's all about the right mood and chemistry. Small things can make me very happy - watching a bird or a flower on my balcony, getting a nice sms from a friend or a compliment on my cooking from a child. I believe in sharing and feel myself privileged to be able to show some hospitality.

PHILOSOPHY

if you get a chance - take it, if it changes your life - let it. But don't forget your roots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a full-time-working single mom I participate mostly on the web. "Maybe" is the most frequent of my CS-statuses, but I also try to meet people in surfers' gatherings whenever I travel. I've hosted a few and am looking forward to more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

You'll also find me at http://www.bewelcome.org/, look for ziburka there! I've hosted people from Italy, Corea, Taiwan, Japan, France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, England, Ireland, Peru, Ecuador, Angola and surfed in Paris and Milano. I also met amazing people from Honduras, Italy, Brazil and USA who came to my place for a dinner or a drink. Want to surf more soon!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh my, how to choose? An amazing trip to Argentina with a boat ride on Tigre and Teatro Colón on the same day, Petra in Jordan, a chat with an old lady in a diving shop in Chania, Crete, a picninc and thunderstorm in a park in Paris... and yet lots to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll show you my neighbourhood and tell some stories about the ways around here.
I'd like to learn about your country, culture, what attracts you to Norway. I want to learn propper Spanish and German some day, to scuba dive and maybe (maybe!) to drive a car.
I'll share whatever I can, it depends on the moment - my home, an hour downtown, a cup of coffe or a drink or a whole night watching movies. Feel free to propose!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, stories.
