About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know people from different corners of the world

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing, social person with an appartment near Bergen city center. I run a business in Åsane north of Bergen center where we do consultant work for the construction business.

I like to do action sports but I don't get out as much as I should.

PHILOSOPHY

What you give is what you get

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a room with a normal sized bed, plus one big bed in a loft. Will be avaliable for couchsurfers and will fit a total of 3 surfers. I also have a mattress that could be set up, but that would be for emergencies only.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hade a few surfers who has visited me, and I've only had good experiences with this. Nice to meet some new people from around the world.

I try to be as accomodating as possible and make the stay as comfortable as I can. The room have a work desk and the loft has a 32" flatscreen TV, a sound system for both the TV and any portable device, plus an old DVD-player. There is also lots of power outlets for charging.

I have a projector in the livingroom where I usually watch movies so there is always possible to tave a movienight if you are tired and just want to relax.

You are more than welcome to use the kitchen and it should have all the appliances you will need. There is a grocary store 2 minutes walking from my house.

I can provide sheets and bedcovers, and also towels if needed. You are free to use the shower, ofcourse.
