About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm new in Oslo and I would like to get to know more people
ABOUT ME
I've finished my studies last year and started a new job in a new country. I like to have a good time with friends. Explore the world, meet new people and always try new things.
I'm very open-minded and easy going. No drama as people like to say :)
One of my passions is sailing. I've done some extensive inshore sailing since I was 18 y old and currently try some offshore sailing. I've thought many of my roommates sailing since then and I'm always happy to share the sailing experience to others :).
There are generally a lot of things I like to do, recently also surfing was added to the list. I think you can say I'm someone who'd to try everything once.
PHILOSOPHY
Try everything once, be kind, have respect, try to really understand one another and help each other out. That's what makes happiness.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'd like to participate by having an available place to sleep in Oslo, Norway.
Also I'd like to share experiences with people who come here.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My last couchsurfing experience was in Portugal when I and Raymond (an old roommate of mine) joined a sailing yacht as crew (found via couchsurfing) to sail from Porto to Lisbon. We couchsurfed a few days in Porto, then on the British sailing boat for 2 weeks and then a few days in Lisbon.
Also during my intership in San Diego California, I've stayed at an international student house, which had couchsurfers sleeping over like every weekend. We kept bonfires at the beach, went to true American house parties, went sailing/surfing... etc. Awesome!

Music, Movies, and Books
I like a lot of movies and music. Reading books was kinda never my thing... My favorite movies are usually those dealing with interesting life topics. And music depends on the mood. I like anything easy going. Fav artists have been dire straits and bryan adams. Lately I'm listning to some more dance music. One artist you need to listen to is Goldfish! Spread their music! :D
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's hard to pick one. I've woken up with the smell of sigars and rum and amazing green views over cacao and banana plantations in cuba. Spent wonderfull sunsets with great openminded people while making a bonfire and eating marshmallows on the beaches of California. Seen the beautiful underwater world of Australia; the incredible cultural differences of Malaysia and Morocco. Found great trust in people I didn't know while hitchhiking across Europe.
