ABOUT ME

If you asked my best friend about me, hopefully they would say that I'm a very nice, generous guy. I like making a pleasant environment for people while they visit and so they feel at home---away from home. I'm always interested in hearing about my visitors travels and what they do with their lives, how they view traveling and encounters with other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

I dont like sitting still for too long. I enjoy getting up early and getting out the door. Don't get me wrong, I love sitting at a nice cafe enjoying a good book/conversation/presentation/performance with a cup of tea or coffee. Only if its balanced with being active. I just hate not moving.

As a Couchsurfing Host, this philosophy would transfer over in my hosting. You and me would be out the door and engaging with the city and the people within it from day one. At the same time, I would be as accommodating to your traveling needs as possible.

Interests

Health and fitness(crossfit*), healthy eating, personal development, film, cafe cultures, media and technology

*I am an active Crossfitter training out of Crossfit Oslo. If you are a Crossfitter and would want to get in some good training during your visit in Oslo, we can arrange it.
