Hi! I'm Monika and am from Norway. I moved from Middlesbrough to Manchester for work in June, and would love to meet up with people in the area - or when I'm travelling. Grab a beer or two, have a stroll in a park or just explore

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I simply want to meet new people!

Not here for dating

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music I'm a big 80's rock fan, but honestly I can enjoy most types of music. I used to be a massive fantasy book fan, now I prefer more realistic ones with a touch of drama or moral. More of a series person than a movie person, but favourite trilogi must be Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2018 I went on a week long hike in the Norwegian mountains alone. Didn't see a single soul the first few days, and was purely focused on the nature and silence around me. Hiked in the day, did yoga at night and went swimming in lakes. Seriously one of the best experiences I've ever had, despite being hella scared of running into a bear along the way haha (never happened, but I was convinced I saw like 50 of 'em!)
