About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing everything that comes my way in the light of gratitude.

ABOUT ME

A bubbly, talkertive redhead with a travel bug stuck in my heart. Chance has brought me into a wonderfully international lifestyle and I love it! This world consists of an infinite number of ways of doing life and I hope to experience as many of them as possible first hand. That means I love travelling, but also getting to know different environments and subcultures within my own country.
But first and foremost I am created by God and set on earth with a purpose. I try to use every opportunity I get to see the blessings in the people around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an unrepayable gift, all I can do is to enjoy it and be thankful for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a lot more than I've surfed, mostly because I don't travel much to places where I don't know anyone. I've had lots of great experiences with hosting, though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- Staying with a wonderful, open-minded family in Den Bosch, Netherlands.
- Eating tortilla española with two Cristinas from Spain.
- Losing a Mexican in the Norwegian mountains.
- Having a dinner party with two French IT-guys.
- Sharing loads of inspiration and experiences with a coffee-shop working, dumpster-diving, world-changing, hitch-hiking Hungarian.
- Roaming around town, climbing towers and playing on playgrounds, with a girl from Kazakhstan and three Chinese people.

Interests

Basically I like anything which is related to travelling and meeting new people. I am into sports, especially basketball. I also like cooking, and learning how to cook food from different countries. I like music and I would love to learn more about music and dances from faraway places. What I do the most is talk, and I like engaging in discussions on most topics, learning from others' views and opinions, as well as telling and listening to stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I wouldn't be able to list any favourite movies, bands or books, because there are so many! I like watching movies, I LOVE reading books and there is no better way to relax than to listen to music on long bus rides.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Greater things are yet to come. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am the kind of person who knows just a little bit about a lot of things, and so I am not really an expert on anything. I can however teach Norwegian, English, Spanish and basic Swahili, and I might have at least a few ideas to contribute with on others topics aswell.

I love learning in general, be it history, language, cooking, dancing, philosophy, you name it.

I like sharing experiences, funny stories, philosophies and views on life. There is so much to learn from one another!
