Overview
About Me
👋 Hi there, hope your day is going well 🙂
(my profile looks best in the app😂)
I love couchsurfing, but only host people who read my profile.
I have a "secret" word you have to include in your request. It's not a big secret though, I tell you right away 😂. The word is CLOWN 🤡🤡 (totally random). If you don't write clown somewhere you will be declined, sorry
And please don't send requests more than a month in advance, I will most likely decline it
I have a few more rules further down, but my profile have somehow become so long that I suspect you will fall asleep before you finish reading it 😂. I don't demand you read every bit of it, bonus points if you do though.
I have hosted people from (in random order)

Unfortunately I can't remember exactly how many people I have hosted throughout the years, but definitely more than a 100
I have surfed in (in chronically order)

I didn't realise these emojis and flags are only visible in the app, on the website it just look strange. I'm still keeping it though, because I like it and I only use the app 😂
As I said, I love couchsurfing (it used to be better though) Been using in since 2009 and I've met so many amazing people, as a host, as a guest or just meeting up with people. It has really had a impact on my life and how I travel. Seeing a place from a local perspective is an important part of travelling for me, couchsurfing gives me that opportunity.
And when I'm not travelling I can invite the world home to me 🙂
My profile used to say I love travelling no matter if it was to a hot or cold place. That is not true anymore, I've developed a hature for winter 😂. I might still travel to cold places, but I'm definitely more of a summer girl
Not very Norwegian of me I know 😂I'm not outdoorsy or fit either. I'm happy to walk around a city all day, but I probably won't join you for a hike
Nor am particularly in to partying either. (I'm so boring😂) Love beer and pubs, but absolutely not in to clubs.
🌞And now a few more rules
🌞 Send a requests, not messages.
I usually keep my profile and hosting calendar up to date. If a date is blocked, it's blocked for a reason, sending a message instead won't help and I probably won't reply, sorry
🌞 No requests more than a month in advance, preferably 2 weeks or less.
I'm a notorious last minute planner and want to give people like me a better chance of finding a host 😂
🌞 If I host a man he has to have at least 5-10 references and the references has to be from both women and other men. A man who only stay with/host women is a little suspicious in my opinion 😂.
Lots of amazing and genuine men on couchsurfing, but I am definitely a little more picky when it comes to the men I host/stay with compared to the women. Sorry
🌞 Fill out your profile (in English). I don't mind hosting people (women and couples) who are new to CS and don't have references yet but no empty profiles please
I'm fully aware that all these "rules" makes me sound like a very strickt person. I'm really not though, at least I hope I'm not 😂. If you read my references I think you can see that I'm actually a nice person
This is just my way of filtering the requests I get.
PHILOSOPHY
those who can enjoy the small things in life have lots to be happy about
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I both surf, host and join meetups
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
For the most part I only have good experiences using couchsurfing, both wile hosting and surfing. Always met great people :). Never had any bad experience, just a few interesting ones. They make for good stories later 😉
Interests
Traveling, football,music,books, history, movies,beer, card/board games, quiz
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: action, thriller sci fi, comedy, fantasy
Music: My tast in music is a bit random and not up to date. A little on the heavy side. My Spotify is one moment Manowar, then next Pink before some Avenged Sevenfold. And then suddenly Celine Dion
Books: I like all kind of book with a map in it, whether it's a map of an elaborate fantasy world of the real world.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have a lot of amazing and random stories from "breaking" in to a Romanian cemetery, to the crazy scissor man on a greyhound bus, to being at the first Hobbit movie premier, to crossing the Belize - Mexico border sort of illegally or living and working on weather station in the Arctic for 6 months with only 9 people, and 11 polar bears
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you a my favorite card game gin and rumy, I'll be very happy if you wanna play that.
And I'm always in search for someone who knows the card game Canasta. A surfer though it to me, but I can't remember how to play it 😂
Yo hablo un poco Español y quiero practicar mas
Share travel stories or maybe just random facts. Random facts is fun. Did you know that the Philippines is the only country in the world that turn their flag upside down when they are at war
What I Can Share with Hosts
I usaualy prefer wandering around exploring on my own during the day,but like to spend time with my host during the evening,have a few beers (or wine) get to know them.
I cook for a living, I don't really do that much when I'm travelling. Also Norwegian food is boring 😂 so I probably won't cook for my host. I love trying local food though, so will very happily try my host's specially or invite them out for dinner. Don't worry, I'm not picky or critical, so you don't have to be scared of cooking for me😂
