Overview
About Me
Hi
I'm a mother of two who lives on the countryside in Norway, approximately 1,5 hour drive from Oslo, near the Swedish border.
I have many hobbies and interests. Some I can mention is airbrushing and redesign.
I love trying new crafts and refining the ones I already know 😊
Every year me and my family, consisting of me, my 18 year old daughter, 16 year old son and my husband - and our two dogs - attend one or two viking/medieval festivals where we all dress, sleep and eat the part 😊
We all love traveling but economics forces us to either stay on a low budget or stay at home 😐
I'm a very positive person and try to see the silver lining in most situations.
I love meeting new people and experience new things.
I loath dishonesty and cruelty.
I don't claim to know anything and I am always happy to learn new things 😊
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A friend of mine told me about couchsurfing and had only good things to say.
So I figured I would give it a try.
I would like to open up our house to people who want to visit Norway and have a strict budget. I also would like to visit others around the world in the same manner and experience a country or just a new place in Norway from a different angle than the usual tourist 😊
I belive couchsurfing is based on mutual trust and faith in the kindness of a stranger.
A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet 😄
Interests
I like close to all types of crafts and DIY
I have an interest in viking, medieval and American Civil War reenactment 😊
I love to cook and try new dishes. Maybe you can teach me a recipe from your country?

Music, Movies, and Books
I am an 80's child and do like the old 80s rock bands. But most music from The Who and Pink Floyd to country, folk and newest radio pop is OK :-)
I like fantasy and sci-fi. Some action and love cartoons, animation and anime.
Titles I can list as a few pointers are; The Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Star Wars, LotR, Despicable Me, How to train your dragon, My neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away
Tv-series;
Supernatural, Merlin, Doctor Who, Friends, Buffy, Game of Thrones
But I also like documentaries and "how to" series.
Books; LotR, The Hobbit, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter
I'm more of a fiction fantasy book lover than books on facts 😜
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I gave birth to my beautiful children and nothing can compare ❤
Teach, Learn, Share
If you can't cook than maybe I can teach you.
If you want advice on dog training or how to get a trick done I am happy to help.
If you want to try basic airbrushing, just minor stuff off curse, I can try to help with what i know (mind you, I'm not the airbrush Van Gogh yet 😉)
I want to learn all you have to offer 😄
So then we can share tips, stories and experiences
What I Can Share with Hosts
A good "from scratch" dinner if allowed. Maybe even something "typical Norwegian"
Hopefully my friendship and host repayment if they wish to visit 😊
Other than that funny, meaningful, deep, bull shit, philosophical conversations 😎
