CURRENT MISSION

To make the most of life on earth!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old guy from Norway who tries to make the most of life, as it only comes by once! I'm originally from a small, cozy town called Horten, but most of the year I live in Oslo where I work for quite a large media house as Head of Publishing in the TV department.
I heard about CS before the summer of 2008, and met a lot of fantastic people travelling a month in Brazil!
In spring '07 me and my friend Morten travelled around the world for about 4 months, and we both just wish we knew about CS then, which would have made our journey even more incredible!
I am very interested in a country's history and culture, and is not afraid of trying new things!
In Oslo I have my own apartment with a spare, small bedroom. My best friend Eirik also rents a room at my place!

PHILOSOPHY

When i die, I want to have lived my life to the fullest;
I want to have experienced the most amount of happiness possible, together with giving the most amount of happiness back to the world!

I never say no to an opportunity because of trivial obstacles if I really urge to do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both surfing and hosting :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed a month in Brazil, for a couple of weeks in the US and a little bit in Frankfurt and Prague. So far it has been beyond my dreams. So many nice people!!

After visiting 50+ countries Brazil is my favorite destination, and even though the country is amazing by itself, CS has A LOT of the credit for that!
