Hi,
My name is Anneli and I got introduced to couch surfing through a good friend who’s both hosted and surfed. It’s appealing to me because I like people and learning from people and also because I’d like to share what I have with others.
I work at a sauna in Bodø where the dream, the wish, the want is to create community and meetings between people around the fire and in the sauna!
I enjoy hiking and being in nature, good conversations and existing together. And I recently rediscovered dancing; solo, salsa, bachata, kizomba (!!) and am really invested in what it can teach me about myself and others! I love that it is a conversation with no words and you really don’t need them.
You can usually find me at the weekly Tuesday jam and local Thursday concert series at one of Bodoe’s best pubs. I’m also a freequent snuggler with the cows at a farm only 15 min from my home.
I love tasting new food from different countries or weird stuff I’ve never tried before, and am also down for most new experiences.

I’m excited to start hosting and meeting travellers!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Just about anything that peeks my interest. Right now I’m reading «Walking in the woods».
Music: I love music, both live and not. Anything goes, as long as it conveys a story or a feeling. At the moment I’m listening to alot of Fado music.
Movies: I love a good story so ofc I love a good movie. Inglorious Basterds, The Intouchables, Elemental to mention a few.
