About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission for this summer, is to get familiar with what Europe has to offer. For that, I might need some help.

ABOUT ME

I'd like to become a published author in fiction, but right now I'm studying Norwegian and English Literature and Language at The University of Oslo. When I'm not studying I work at a small bookstore, wich I'm proud to say won The Author's Union Bookstore of The Year Prize, this year. I also have an education in copywriting.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to remain positive in anything, and you'll get the most out of everything. Smile!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love this initiative and I will do anything I can to help others in the same way I hope to be helped, myself. A great step towards a more "familiar" world :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When we visited Cuba last year, we often stayed at what they called Casa Particulares (or something like that) Where we stayed at peoples homes, wich was really nice. A great experience. Other than that I hope to meet some people this summer!
