About Me

I’m a spontaneous and open-minded guy from Norway. I have a BA in International Relations, a BA in Latin American Studies and a MA in Human Rights. By profession, I worked as a political journalist for several years - and now I work in government. I have lived in Medellín, Colombia + Havana, Cuba + Rio de Janeiro, Brazil + São Paulo, Brazil + Toulouse, France + Lyon, France as well as my home town Oslo, Norway. I'm currently living in Santiago, Chile.

Always looking for new experiences and good conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Couchsurfing when I was travelling in South America, and it was a great experience hanging out with locals and discovering the places with their help. I've also hosted people in Oslo, and I enjoy hanging out and talking with surfers from all over the world!

[Some friendly clarifications after receiving a bunch of different requests and having some experiences: I'm 100 % queer friendly and would love to join a Pride march with you, but I'm not queer myself. Regardless of sexual orientation , I don’t use Couchsurfing for hook-ups. And I'm not into naturism/nudism]
