Hi!

I'm a girl from the north-western coast of Norway and I've just come home after living and traveling in Bali (also visited Cambodia, but I mainly stayed in Bali this time). While traveling I also did my first 200hour Yoga Teacher Training, and this summer I'll be teaching yoga in my hometown in Norway, Molde.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, traveling is one of the most amazing opportunities to meet all kinds of people, exploring different cultures and expanding your mind and perspective about society. I'm very priviliged to be able to travel at all, but not even for me it is easy moneywise, so as well as to being a great way to get to know new people and places, it also makes it easier economically. It's the best of both worlds!

Interests

I'm a very active person and that is something I'll take with me when I travel as well, going for long walks, running through the streets of the new places I come to, mountain hiking, and of course yoga!

I've been singing since I was a little girl, so music is a big part of my life. My father works in a Norwegian production company and therefore I've been at concerts my whole life, such as Stevie Wonder, Sting, Madonna, Patti Smith, Queens of the Stone Age and Robert Plant.

Furthermore I love to go hiking in the mountains, run, bicycle and do yoga. I live by the western coast of Norway, surrounded by enormous mountains, so it's not strange mountain hiking and running are activities I love to do! I mentioned that I'm into yoga, and I've actually become so fond of it that I'm thinking about taking an education as a yoga teacher. Hopefully that's something I'll do in the coming year. :-)

Also, I'm quite a foodie and love to try out new food from all around the world!

Hanging out with friends, drinking, listening to music, reading ... of course I love that too!
