CURRENT MISSION

to meet guests from all over the world, and show them the Nordfjord and it's surroundings

ABOUT ME

Grown up in Germany I am now living in Norway since 1976. I live alone in a big house on an old farm, but I am not a farmer anymore. But I still grow vegetables to be selfsufficient as much as possible. There is plenty of room here for several guests. I live 30km west of the little town Nordfjordeid, which is about 350km north of Bergen. I am only available to show you around when I am not working. Otherwise, you are always welcome to stay at my home. My mobile phone number: +4791731718

PHILOSOPHY

I am calm, peaceful, talkative, friendly, nice, gentle, hospitable, and sincere. I am trusting, and enjoy the company of people. (These characteristics are written by one of my first cs-friends)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host for CS members, so far. That's really inspiring and almost as interesting as travelling by my own. I tried a little surfing i Rome and Florence but it was difficult to find hosts in the middle of the tourist season. But many years ago when hitchhiking still was common I travelled a lot and many times I was invited home by people giving me a ride, specially in France, in Norway and in Ireland.

Interests

Coastal culture, sailing, fishing in the Nordfjord or in the open sea, hiking local mountains, restaurating old wooden boats, I'm an active member of the organisation https://www.kysten.no/ .
I try to be selvsufficient with vegetables and herbs.
