Activities i am interested in:

I'm usually on the lookout for new waves to surf, and anything related to surf/skate

Description

I’m a curious and open-minded Norwegian-American, with a love for people, movement, and alternative ways of living. I’ve lived in Japan, Nayarit, Mexico City, Denmark, and even out of a van—sometimes for work and projects, sometimes just for the experience.

I’m into surfing, skating, and being outdoors. Right now I help run a skate community in Denmark focused on supporting women and gender minorities. I also love creative projects—video, writing, art, and anything that brings people together.

After six amazing months of surfing in Mexico in 2023, I’m now chasing a life that balances waves, nature, and meaningful work that keeps me challenged, in movement and which gives me new perspectives on life. I adapt quickly, love meeting new people, and I’m always up for a new adventure.

More details about your skills

I have a background in Visual Anthropology, which means I’m trained in cultural research, creative storytelling, and filmmaking. I did fieldwork on a Mexican surf community, combining my love for surfing with my interest in social life and alternative lifestyles. I've worked on video projects, exhibitions, and social media content, and have experience with translation, cultural consulting, and working in art collectives.

In Denmark, I help run a skate community where we host sessions and trips, make videos and zines, and create inclusive events for women and gender minorities. I love building community through creativity and movement.

Beyond the creative world, I’ve spent over 10 years in hospitality, tourism, and childcare—working as a server, bartender, and with kids . I'm practical, organized, and quick to get things done, whether it’s cooking, cleaning, or jumping into new tasks.

I’m an outdoorsy, adaptable person who thrives in new environments. I enjoy physical work, learning new skills, and connecting with people from all walks of life.
