About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life Is What Happens While You´re Busy Planning It

ABOUT ME

Hello Everybody!

I am an open, positive and relaxed young woman from Norway. As the youngest of four siblings,I am born into a large family in Oslo, something I believe made me wanting to challenge myself as I realized that everything I had managed, my brothers and sisters had done before me. What a destiny! From this point I developed an interest for the new, undiscovered that only I had done.

At the age of 17-18 I was an exchange student in England, a year that boosted my self esteem and expanded my perspectives. I realised that i was so much more that what my family had expected of my and that we are all FREE INDIVIDUALS with the ability to go our own way!

PHILOSOPHY

I have an Ocean of Time if I only forget the clock...

...comes from my bad habit of working more than I intend too.

Life´s like a box of Chocolate. You´ll never know what you gonna get. Forrest Gump´s Mum

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, looking forward to getting to know YOU!

Interests

I would identify myself as an outdoor girl! I simply love being outside and believe that it is essential for our health! Activities I like are hiking in mountains, swimming in fresh waters, SCUBA-diving and simply picnicking in a park on a warm summers day.

In addition to this I am very cultural interested, have studied both music and drama and am practicing singing as a result of being happy :-) I also practice YOGA and modern dance. Both activities work naturally with the body and are important elements in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

My like for Music is broad as I am curious and always expanding my likings.
Among my jazz favorites are Nina Simone, Chet Baker and Eva Cassidy.
Among my rock favorites are Beatles, Muse and Radiohead
Among my classical favorites are Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Grieg, Debussy and Kuhlau.
Among my favorite Norwegian Musicians are Susanne Sundfør, Thomas Dybdahl, Bernhoft, Kristin Asbjørnsen and Rôyksopp. Check them Out! Who would believe they come from a cold country?

I´ll happily listen to any genre of soulful music where I get a clear picture of what the artist is trying to tell :-) And if you´re asking me to sing, play the guitar or piano with you, I´ll happily join!

One one my favorite film through the years is Forrest Gump, the ultimate example that people are capable of working their way to live their own life, regardless of his original birth state.
I also love films where stories from different people lives mix together, as seen in Babel, Crash and the Norwgian Hawaii, Oslo.
In addition to this I can´t help smiling from Woody Allens quirky films, Midnight in Paris and Match Point...

Lastly, when it comes to literature I like to read documentaries about criminality, theatre scripts as well as written novels.I am currently reading Eat, Pray, Love...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No destination, however exotic, has amazed me more than the true peace I find in the Mountains or by the Ocean. I am grateful for all the trips where I have gathered experience from these places.

The best moments have been the late nights, the early mornings, the rainy music festivals, the cancelled flights and the unexpected visit by a true friend. These moments I feel alive and cannot predict the outcome. The best things in life are free and comes from the heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

Skills;

Cooking, as I am always curious for new tastes I like to experiment with different flavors in which often makes my dishes unconventional.

Yoga, learn to listen to the body and let intuition guide you.

Music, I can teach you some elements of using the voice to express yourself. I even play the flute, some guitar and piano :-)
