Hi! My name is Kristine Boen, I am a 19-year old girl from Norway! I came to Melbourne in October, and I plan to stay until the end of February. I am looking for work, currently doing trails here and there and hopefully I´ll be working part-time or as a casual soon! I´m travelling with another Norwegian girl named Line, who is also 19 years old. She is currently working in a cafe in Flinders Lane! I would characterize us both as very friendly, open-minded and responsible girls. We both really enjoy cooking, music and exploring new places. We are always up to trying new things, and filling the days with something meaningful - which makes great stories to share over dinner later:) We want to keep things organized and tidy, as we have been living in hostels for 2 months, we want some rutine and order back in our lives! We have a lot of experience with living in host families in foreign countries, and we´ve picked up a thing or two about living with other people - and making new places feel like home. I believe we are two girls that you can count on, both on keeping it tidy and having a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it would be a great way to meet the locals of Melbourne! I love meeting new people, and I have always wanted to try Couchsuring but my dad wouldn´t let me until I was over 18 hehe. So, I hope I get the chance to try it out here in Melbourne!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked as an English Teacher in China for 1 month! It is one of the greatest experiences I´ve ever had. Really challenging, but I learned so much about myself and chinese culture.
