About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My Icelandic best friend Inga and I booked a flight to Paris when Iceland beat England in the European Championship. All we have is the flight today and we have no idea where we're going to stay! We're usually not this spontaneous, but this is the first time Iceland has EVER competed in a major competition and are now in the TOP 8 teams! Almost 10% of the entire Icelandic population is there at the game! So amazing❤️...Anyway, we are 2 very fun, clean and lovable women who would be very grateful for a place to stay :) It's Inga's first time to France as well-She owns a travel blog in Iceland and is looking forward to blogging about this spontaneous adventure! I love good adventure and food!

ABOUT ME

I'm a thrill seeker. I love the outdoors-climbing mountains, white water rafting, you name it! I also enjoy more refined activities like going to the theatre, operas, ballets, fancy dinner and good wine and beer. I love music! People fascinate me, I love to listen and explore the human brain. I've always been somewhat of a rambling person, I love new destinations and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to do EVERYTHING this world has to offer. Most of my activities I do solo, purely because I like to keep moving and make things happen, not wait behind for others. I make friends everywhere I go, and keep them! Life is too short to waste on meaningless responsibilities, and If I don't see the world when I'm young-ish, I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to again.
