About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive 2024

ABOUT ME

Oh dear...I am currently struggling with what seems to be an allergic reaction to self-description tasks which include actual words. I am better live, promise.

I`ll write something spectacularly moving later.

PHILOSOPHY

Reformed Christian Zionist...FREE Palestine!

I don't mind people having different opinions, BUT if your opinions f.ex are limiting other people's bodily autonomy, safety or freedom, you can seriously feck off. I have been listening to religious bigotry my entire life, I am done. Also not discussing with anti-vaxxers anymore.

I try to be seriuos about stuff that matters...and not too serious about the rest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been travelling/flying for years, but when I travel I always stay with friends or CS-friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never hosted anyone I didn't know, met a guy that made me change my mind...but I`ve had coffee/walks/talks with a bunch of other nice people though, which was very cool, as well as sleeping around (not like that) when I visited NYC and Reykjavik.

Although I need to finish my flat before I start hosting, I am happy to meet up or give advice if you are thinking about coming to Oslo.

Interests

Reading, travelling (preferably by train), taking random naps, walking (not too fast), writing, singing, swimming, laughing, sleeping, pondering, drawing, secretly watching other people behind my dark sunglasses, daydreaming, fleamarketingbonanza, watching the sky change...all whilst drinking way too much coffee and cuddling dogs. Oh yes, there will be dogs.
