We are a Norwegian-Danish couple, currently backpacking through South East Asia for six months. We enjoy being introduced to different cultures and meeting new people.

Anna Sofie is 25 years old and loves to be crafty (she especially loves to knit and crochet). Moreover, she has a bachelor degree in Danish litterature, which makes her an expert in the Danish and Scandinavian litterature scene!

Bendik is 28 years old and loves to read and to be out in nature. Back home, he works in a bookstore in Central Copenhagen. Being a Norwegian expat in Denmark, he finds joy in exposing himself to cultures that differ from his own, and is especially interested in culinary customs and traditions.

We are a social couple who loves to connect with people and enjoy good conversations. We would love to be invited into your home, and promise that we will bring a lot of good laughs and conversation - and we will of course teach you everything we know about our Scandinavian culture.

When traveling, we want to get to know the spirit of a place, a country, a culture. Your hospitality means a lot to us, and we look forward to getting to know you.
