I'm a mechanical engineering student from Norway, currently on an exchange year at the University of Oklahoma!

My two friends, Sofiane and Daniella, and I are traveling the east coast over winter break, trying to see as much of this enormous country as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends and make memories for life! I love the concept of coach surfing!

Interests

I love traveling and exploring new cultures and languages. I love meeting new people and making friends from all around the world!

During the winters back home in Norway I do snowboarding and cross country skiing. And in the summers I like to go hiking and diving.

I play the spanish guitar and used to play the violin, but sadly I could not bring my guitar to the US with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to the US for my exchange year has been one of the best experiences I have had yet, and I am so happy that I did it. I've met so many amazing people from all around the world that I wouldn't have met otherwise, and I've learnt a lot about other cultures, and also about myself whilst being on this journey.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could teach you Norwegian! Also I can cook traditional Norwegian meatballs, among other things.
