CURRENT MISSION

get in touch with my punk side

ABOUT ME

I have somehow ended up in Norway as a technical translator. I like old books and cats. I would like to deepen my appreciation for punk/hardcore bands.

So, I guess, my ideal host would show me the punk scene and antiquarian bookstores in a city, and manage to throw a cat and multilingual talents into the bargain somehow.

Or maybe just one of those things... :)

PHILOSOPHY

The unseen is prov'd by the seen,
till that becomes unseen and receives proof in its turn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It wasn't through CouchSurfing per se, but I stayed with a friend in her family's apartment in Moscow a couple years ago and it was one of the best experiences ever. It was more the people I met and the lives I was invited into, rather than the typical touristy things

Interests
