CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet interesting people to listen, learn and share, and to create good moments in life worth remembering

ABOUT ME

I have chosen a different way of living that differs from most people around here, and most of the time I enjoy my life. People are important to me, love a good sense of humour and honest, open and reflected people.
Being close to nature gives me a lot, and I am very fortunate to be close to the fjords and the mountains.. I have a pantheistic view on life, and I am a spiritual person but I don't jump around chanting on a regular basis..:-)
I am tolerant and curious, and I love to learn. My health can sometimes cause variations in my energy level, but I have learned to live with it and enjoy what I can do. It makes me appreciate the good times even more...:-)
My daughter and son have grown up and more or less left home, but I give priority to spend time with them when they come home.
I like to be with friends, making a good meal and drinking red wine. I like to try new food, so surprise me and I'll be very happy :-)
I like to read, and I have a guitar (or several) in my house. Sometimes I work with amatour theater, and I feel alive being creative like that.
I am not fond of Winter, but enjoy Summer, swimming and sun even more. Summernights don't get completely dark around here, and this place is a lot of social fun at that time... The village is a place people come back to year after year.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, and let live.
I live to learn, to touch other peoples lives and have my life touched by them. I want to make a differense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess I will be hosting more than travelling, but I hope to be able to visit Costa Rica. I also like to read about other peoples experience here, and "travel" on internett:-)

Music, Movies, and Books

This is a too long list to write, but in general I like to go deep instead of fast when it comes to movies and books...of course intelligent comedies are not bad either. Again, teach me something new and I'll be happy. By the way, I have quite a lot of books in English if you want to read some of them while you are here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped organizing so we got a new roof on a school in Bosnia after the war.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some people say that I am wise, an old lapwoman staring into the bunfire...telling stories of life.. I don't know, see for yourself:-)Maybe I can teach you to listen to nature?
There are so many things I don't know, and almost everything you can teach me will be welcome.
