Personal Description

I'm a very positive,happy and smiling girl, sometimes maybe a little crazy;) But who isn't. My mission is to enjoy life as much as possible, and I try always to focus on the positive and get rid of all negativity, although sometimes it's not completely possible. I love life, and try to learn all the time how to get the best out of it:) I also love to travel, and meet new interesting people from all around the world. Most of my time I spend studying what I love (spanish) and hanging out with my sweet boyfrind and my wonderfull friends:)

I LOVE to dance, and one year ago I started taking clases in belly-, Gypsy and Tribal dance. Dancing really makes me happy, and when I dance, I sometimes fell like I'm in somekind of trance, it's really wird, but a great feeling.

Besides that I'm dancing salsa, diving (whenever I have the opportunity), swimming (work as a lifeguard beside my studies). I have much more to tell, but you will get to know me when we meet:) Also I have dedicated my whole summer to my pois, because I love it, and I want to be really good. So if you can learn me some new things, it would be perfect:)

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

I met Louise a few times now when going over to CS-events in Copenhagen and every time she left me with the most positive experience. I think shes calm, sweet and intelligent and has a non-pushy approach i value and respect so highly. She has class and integrity, but still brings a warm, peaceful, soothing and loving energy to the events and people around her. I hope i meet her again someday and talk more to her, specially on Paulo Coelho books :)

I have always a positive feeling of happiness and calm when I meet Louise, she is so sweet and lovely and I always like to talk with her so much (also in italian/spanish!!). I think she is a person to discover step by step and that she has a lot to teach you, expecially concerning the way to face life!See you in CHP!!!

So great to meet you! i must have looked puzzled first time i met you, i wasn't sure if you were one of the french couchsurfers that were expected hahaha. anyway, you've shown to be totally unfrench (if that's possible to give as a compliment ;)), you have such a warm smile, such positive interest in everything around you - just makes me wish we'll be able to spend more time in the future. take care and see you soon!

Louise is an amazingly sweet and nice girl. You loose your heart the second she looks at you! She's got the deer-eyes and the pouting going on like a number one! ;) No, for real: she is a very nice and pretty girl that cooks amazing dinners. I hope you found my recipe! Love from Holland (L)

Louise and Thorbjorn are great. Its said that actions speak louder than words. Thoough I did chat with Louise some while we help her bf Thornbjorn move, I feel i know them much better from his large generous actions and the way they make people feel around them. So though I would look forward to having longer more meaningful conversations with them, I can comfortably say they are two great trusthworthy people.

Louise graciously hosts my Copenhagen host because we took over his apartment and turned it into a CS party house. LOL. Anyone who allows Thorbjørn to host that many couchsurfers at once is super cool in my book.

Louise is a totally sweet, genuine, lovely girl and a great travel partner! She has a very deep appreciation for beauty and genuinely adores all the other cultures she chooses to immerse herself in. She was a wonderful friend to me for the 5 months we were living in Costa Rica, and I hope our paths cross again in some corner of the world soon!
