About Me

People say about me that I'm easy to talk to. I like to meet new people and make new friends. So this kinda matches :-) I'm an easy going, impulsive, positiv girl, trying to combine an accademic career with an adventurous lifestyle!
i recently quit my job as an engineer and been chasing adventures ever since! I worked all summer in a surfcamp and now got itchyfeet, gonna chase some waves :-)

I am a passionate snowboarder and surfer, spending most my time outdoors! I used to do more different kinds of sports, but I have decided to focus on a few sports. I care a lot about the environment. We get a lot from this awesome planet and I want to give something back. I care most about solutions of the waste problems, which seem quite far away for us here, but you get confrontet with it's existence during travelling..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled a lot my self and met great friends on the road. While i lived in Bergen last year, i hosted many guests.
I surfed while travelling through central and south america last autumn. I wanna make friends for travelling together or maybe need a nice place to stay and get to know better the local culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the winter in Finmarks-vidda (northern Norway). We drove with snowmobiles into the wild and slept on reindeerfurs in a tent. Went icefishing and swimming in the icewater.

In wintertime, I can teach you snowboarding - i'm an instructor.
