We are a small family: Mum and a almost 14 year old girl ( Born September 2008). I’d love to get to know other dancers (salsa, bachata, Lindy hop, swing) or people who can teach me Japanese, Italian, Swahili, Russian or Spanish. Getting to know us is very easy as we are social and relaxed people. We prefer families with kids, polyglots and people who don´t get drunk....And we do not accept racists. We like spending time with people who respect others no matter what colour or religion.

We like cooking and have a food blog:

Thank you for commenting on our blog! :-D

PHILOSOPHY AND LANGUAGE INTEREST:
The world is such a great place when you have friends everywhere!

Example: The French language have many Norwegian words! Who knew? Just look at this: http://www.viking.no/e/france/norman_on_words.htm

There are also many Norwegian words in the English language. Words like husband, acre, gate, fuck ( sorry...) and the scottish kirk. The vikings sure traveled a lot..Now maybe you can add Norwegian to your list of languages? ;-)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

We love learning about languages, cultures, cooking and we love making new friends.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We arrange events in the city, host people and tell people about couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We have met many nice people through couchsurfing and had too much fun. :-)

CURRENT MISSION
Serve traditional Norwegian food for our guests and give them a nature experience. Maybe teach them some Norwegian? In general; hanging out and having fun. You can see some of our cooking on our food blog:
