American - Norwegian traveler. Been all over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a student researcher on a budget, and I love meeting people. Mostly because it is the best way to study culture. A hotel will never give a true cultural experience.

Interests

An artist at heart. Writing mostly. Love my Family.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music Depends on the mood, Classical, jazz, blues, ballad, sometimes opera. But I sometimes turn on the pop classics too.

Authors I enjoy: Murakami, Hamsund, Orwell, Stephen King, Brautigan, Wergeland, Kirkegaard, Fante.

With movies I am a little picky, but my biggest guilty pleasure is 90's Disney. 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the sun rise over TaiShan mountain in north China at 5 in the morning. Truly a sight fit for dreams. There are so many amazing things I've seen in this world, so difficult picking one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a strong faith in Karma. Do good, be good.
见义不为，无勇也

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer great food, a caring company and a clean home. My passion is people, and it will always be. My dream is to see every corner of the world.
