Hei! I’m Emma, a Norwegian contemporary circus artist and climate activist, sailing and travelling around the world with the project Currents from 2024 to 2028 (@currents4climate on Instagram)

I love dancing, contemporary art, the colour yellow, laying around in a pile with my friends, traveling by impulse, plant based food, coffee, grumpy cats, conversations that change my point of view, and the addiction of a good book.

I normally live on a sailboat with 2-4 other people, all of us sharing one room, so I'm used to sharing spaces and community living. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think it is great that people should have the possibility to travel, meet new people, see new places etc without money having to be a big issue.

I used to host because I grew up in a home where our doors would always be open, and I wanted to continue that tradition.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm doing it right now;) Travelling around the world by sailboat and hitchhiking.
But some things previously:
- I toured Northern Europe twice with a performance on a huge sail ship from 1935 with my performing arts' company Acting for Climate, through sun and rain and wind and silence
- Directed a circus performance with a full symphony orchestra
- I am a comic book character in a Latvian comic book which won an annual design award, where I pop out of the comic with AR videos

Teach, Learn, Share

Circus, cooking, music, conversations. I love to connect with locals and understand the situation in the place I'm in, if you are open to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook great plant based food, teach you some circus or movement skills, and would love to share world views! + a massive load of gratefulness and always a place to stay, should you ever come to Norway
