ABOUT ME

HI!
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A GROWN WALRUS WEIGH?

TIME FOR YOU TO THINK...

...
...
...

DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER YET?

...
...

ANSWER:

- ENOUGH TO BREAK THE ICE!!!!

*SHAKING HANDS*

HI, I´M JIPP!

(HAHAHA.. DID YOU GET IT? :D)

As you might have seen from my profile picture.. I don't have that typical look of a Norwegian girl (stereo type: blue eyes, blond hair, fair skin, etc) but it doesn't make me any less a Norwegian citizen.. So to explain my look.. I am lucky to have my beautiful Vietnamese parents giving birth to me in this fairy country. I was lucky to grow up with a mix of two different cultures.. this have shaped me into the person I am today. :)

I love to learn about everything, and I love a Great laugh... :DDD

PHILOSOPHY

Let yourself grow. Nobody is perfect, our imperfections makes us more interesting.

(Steve Jobs)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It´s a great place to be connected to the WORLD..

I love to listen to a lot of different kind of music.. mostly i just turn on a random 8-tracks list (Ok.. haha.. it's not really random.. i usually pick them from the HAPPY list.. but it's still random from this list.. If you guys have never heard about this.. you should deffinitly check out www.8tracks.com.. it's damn BRILLIANT!) But i guess if i have to pick some of my favorite music genres.. they will be: RnB, Indie Rock, folk-rock, smooth jazz, pop, piano music :)
