ABOUT ME

Im a dreamer. But I often need a litle push to put my dreams into reality. But now after years of studying I am pushing myself. I decided that its time to see the world. If I don't do it now I probably never will.
And now I'm currently living the dream.

This spring I graduated in electronics engineering. These last few years has been all about preparing for traveling. So in addition to studying I've been working over the summers and a little bit more sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At home there has been some guiding and meet ups(drinking beer).

Out in the world there has been more of the drinking beer part. I think thats a good way to partisipate!

Interests

Language, I guess I wasn't quite lucky with this one since im really dyslectic, and lack of consentraion doesn't make it any better. But passion makes up for it, at least a little bit.
Traveling, it just feels really great to be on the move seeing new stuff and relax. I guess this is why I also love riding my motorbike. Also motorbikes gives another feeling, that of adrenaline pumping trough your body. I guess sometimes it can be a bit much, but im still here. :)

Another thing that gives adrenaline is playing paintball. Wich is also great excersise. And gives you the oportunity to go out into the woods.

Also I've started to take up a new hoby wich is getting quite expensive. Or it's not really a hobby, it's more of a passion. And it's photography. You can look at my pictures here if you are interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eirikwold/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm really lucky to live in one of the most beautyful countries in the world. And also the best part of it. So just stepping outside here is seeing something amazing.

Traveling to val thorens in france was also really amazing. It had been snowing for a week, and when we got there there was several meeters of powder everywhere.

One of the best experiences I ever had though was in denmark. It might sound a bit wierd but...
I was riding the S-train back from some relatives on the way to the city. The S-train is a train that connects suburbia copenhagen with the centre of the city. Anyway I was just sitting there enjoing the view of a country a bit foreign to me. And then it hit me. This is life. Just sitting on a train somewhere listening to my favorite music. Can't wait to have this experience in eastern asia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really know what to share. I guess maybe some photgraphy. And Im quite handy with computers. Or technical stuff in general.
