About Me

I'm a happy girl who loves exploring the world and meet new people. I've studied social Anthropology and like meeting new people and different cultures. In 2014-2015 I worked in Sydney. Last year I finished my degree in Medical Anthropology. I wrote my master thesis about clowns who work with people who have dementia.
I absolutely love singing, baking cakes, playing board games and having fun with friends and family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was on a trip to Melbourne, Great Ocean road and Tasmania with a couple of friends who are very active on Couchsurfing. We surfed two different places, which was really an amazing experience. Therefore, I decided to try it myself. I met up with several people while I was in Australia. I also met some great people while I was in Oslo. I recently showed my Italien friend around in Aarhus and I would love to meet up for coffee and give a tour of my favorite Danish city, Aarhus.

Interests

I love music, theater, nature and Africa. I have done a lot of volunteering in different projects in Africa and in different organizations in Denmark. I like helping when I have the opportunity. I love singing and have been singing in different choirs since I was 9.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked on the great wall of China.

In 2009 I spent 5 months in Malawi and enjoyed it very much. We did a climb on Mount Mulanje and that was a really beautiful and exciting experience.

Moving to Sydney and working there for a year was an amazing experience. Walking around Uluru and climbing Kings Canyon were also great experiences.
