About Me

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile :)
I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
(In Icelandic the gender neutral pronoun is hán)

If I travel it's usually with my dad, Helgi Thorsteinsson,
you can find him in my friends list, If you're looking for
company and guidance for outside of Reykjavik you
should definitely message him instead, but tell him I
recommended him and I'd be happy to tag along :)
I might only have made my own account in 2020 but
I've been hosting and travelling with couch-surfers
with my dad since he joined the community in 2017.

More about me ٩( ᐛ )و
-I have a degree in both graphic design and acting
-I'm a talented new comedian, I won the Reykjavík Fringe Festival's "Youth Fringe Award" in 2021
-I like to experiment in anything artistic, from drawing to sewing to performance and etc
-I love to travel within the country but would love to see more of the world in the near future
-I'm very outgoing and social, I love sharing my experiences and learning from others
-Other than travelling and comedy, my favourite activity is definitely playing pool

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make friends from all around the world, share experiences and learn from each other :)

I also want to help girls my age feel safe while couch surfing in Iceland, I know it can be stressful to meet new people especially If there's a big age gap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the end of my final semester studying graphic design in Borgarholtsskóli I got to go on a week long school trip to study graphic design in Škola Michael in the Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Teach, Learn, Share

-I'm pretty bad with new languages but I love trying anyway, so If you have the patience feel free to try to teach me a little :)

-At the moment I can't think of anything I could teach but I am usually chock full of fun facts I've picked up about my interests (and am always happy to share)

As the guest/tourist I can provide good company, personal experiences and stories, witty humour and all in all a cheerful mood ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

What Can I Share With Tourists
Soo I don't have a car. If you're looking for someone to show you around by car, I can't provide that, but If you find Helgi Thorsteinsson in my friends list (my dad) he is usually very happy to provide an adventure and I will happily join :)
