Outgoing introvert. True globetrotter and polyglot. Third culture kid. Vivid tea drinker. Salsa addict. Highly organized but prefer to do things last-minute.

I like spending time on strength training, dancing, running, investing/trading and improv. I like enjoying the outdoors in summertime such as horseback riding and hiking.

Being a busy introvert means I usually can't respond to requests more than 1-2 weeks in advance. Feel free to get in touch with questions or something in the meantime but if you send a request for too far into the future, I'll know you didn't read this - and your request will be declined. You can request again when your trip draws nearer.

My life mottos are "þetta reddast" (Icelandic saying and mentality that essentially translates into "everything will be fine/we'll get it sorted somehow in the end anyway") and "busy people always have time".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love and prefer to travel in a less touristy/mainstream way, meeting with locals and getting to know the local culture in an authentic way. I also enjoy sharing and showing my culture and country.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of weird and not so weird music.
I'm a loyal listener to Stuff You Should Know and also listen to various other podcasts ranging from health and nutrition to investing and psychology/mental health.

I'm an old Harry Potter fan but otherwise I mostly read non-fiction.

My type of films: Amélie, Memoirs of a Geisha, Love Actually...but I also like more action-filled stuff and (Nordic) crime. I don't generally watch a lot of TV though. I'll make references to Friends but otherwise you'll probably find it hard striking up a conversation about TV shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a lot of amazing things but if I were to only mention one... I'd say win a French sports-themed poetry competition.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you (or ramble about) languages, about Nordic culture and cultural differences. I get excited discussing all things related to health, nutrition and training, or investing.

Last but not least, I can share travel stories or, if I'm in a super good mood, teach you some dancing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories, language exchange, curiosity.
