About Me

I like learning, meeting people, getting outside, and doing things. I like exploring and have done lots of trekking and camping. I love the feeling of heading out on an adventure with all you need on your back.

I like problem solving and riddles which lead me to study physics and computer science at university. I have many questions about our universe.

I like to be busy, but I also enjoy taking breaks. I spent my high school years split between team sports (mainly soccer), school plays, and science fair projects.

I just finished university and I am starting work in the fall, but first I am biking across Europe, from Norway to Italy. I am super excited for all the things we will see and do along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because I think it is a wonderful chance to share life with new people and have it shared with me.

Interests

Anything outdoors: swimming, biking, hiking, canoeing, soccer/football, going to the beach, all of these activities interest me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In third year of university I got to go on exchange to India. I spent 4 month studying in New Delhi in India. I lived in the student residences and worked hard during the week so that I could travel on the weekends. After the semester finished I spent 2 months teaching at a rural school. I taught middle school math and science and played endless hours of football (soccer) with the kids. Living in India was an incredible experience in so many ways, but my favorite part was the time we spent getting to know people on the trains.
