Overview
About Me
Important info for couchsurfers:
I have a cat. I can host in my living room on the pull-out couch, but I haven't got any window blinds there and the sun barely goes down in the summer, so I recommend bringing a sleeping mask, or if you are very sensitive to sleeping in sunlight this might not be the place for you. I work part-time at a kindergarten and make music in my spare time, so the living room can be a bit loud sometimes. I won't mind you being there, just a warning c:
Start your request with this phrase to confirm you've read this: Melons don't belong in salads. Feel free to disagree c:
I don't have much experience with tourist stuff so messaging for tips about daytours or the Blue Lagoon will probably be futile. Apart from that, I'm down to chill, show you around, or make food together.
Bio
I've been playing all sorts of music since I can remember, mostly on keyboards and acoustic guitar. I've worked many different jobs, but I barely have any marketable skills.
I am generally a quiet, calm introvert, but sometimes I like to live fast and loud.
Now I work in a kindergarten, molding small humans. Lots of love and patience.
I'm manic in the summer and slow in the winter,
and there is always music brewing.
I am quietly a fan of the increase in thunderstorms in Reykjavik.
They grace my evening walks with drama and awe.
I am not a fan of its cause, this mercurial, volatile climate change that falls on our times.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love traveling and meeting people from other cultures and living frugally and I'd love to help others do the same.
