This 21-year-old lady is from the beautiful North of Norway. She fell in love with a farmer's son from the south-norwegian countryside. The young couple left Norway for a while to conquer a contry on the other side of the earth - New Zealand! Now we are back in Norway, and we've got a precious daughter. We're currently studying in Ås.

I enjoy travelling, and have been to many European countries. Other passions include mountaintrecking, sun-bathing, skiing, fishing, rock-climbing, camping; yeah - I love the outdoors. I also enjoy driving, the city life, books, a good conversation, learning languages and interacting with new people.

I am energetic, but still able to settle down. I am spontaneous, but yet responsible. I am open to new things and easy to please. Life is beautiful and is to be enjoyed the fullest.

I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend and I headed towards New Zealand - the land down under - in December 2017. In an attempt to travel with a semblance of a plan — general ideas of where we want to go when, I investigated different accommodation-possibilties. Couchsurfing seemed like a great way to discover the country.

Most tourists stay in hotels. Many backpackers stay in hostels. We prefer to stay with local people to experience the culture from the inside. It offers cultural exchange through hospitality and gives us great flexibility since nothing is booked far in advance. And it also makes this two-months-long trip possible for young people with student economics like the two of us.

We are very excited to try out this way of travelling! So to all potential friends out there; we are very grateful for your hospitality and time. Thank you for trusting us with your couches (read homes). We would love to get to know you! <3

Music, Movies, and Books

Music ~ I have a wide range, but Country is my no. 1
(Amoung my favourites you may find the Dixie Chicks, Green Day, Kaizers Orchestra, Ed Sheeran, Dolly Parton and Billie Joe)

Movies ~ If you haven't seen "Captain Fantastic", "Into the wild" or "The perks of being a wallflower" you've missed great things in life. I'm also fan of Pixar movies like "Monsters, inc", "Ice Age" and "Toy story".

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies." I love to read, especially when travelling.

"Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dreams no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes"

~ Wide open spaces by Dixie Chicks

"I said, I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of blue bonnets
In a blanket made of stars
Oh, it sounds good to me

I said, cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue
Set me free, oh, I pray
Closer to heaven above and closer to you
Closer to you

I wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one for miles and miles
Except for maybe you and your simple smile
Oh, it sounds good to me
Yes, it sounds so good to me"

~ Cowboy, take me away by Dixie Chicks

The mountains are calling and I must go.
~ John Muir
