About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, experience and be curious

Hi, I'm Asbjørn, and I work as an architect. I love to hang out with people, travel, hike, ski, kayak and simply explore the world and myself in various ways.

I believe that life is the sum of all the moments you have, and in the last couple years I've learned that other people is what makes my life worth living.

I'm a newbie at surfing, but have hosted a lot of people.
I used to hitchhike, and couch surfing gives me some of the same experience with meeting random, new, and very interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that you have a much better time traveling when you get to meet the people and culture at a close up, instead of staying in hotels that all look the same. I also believe in having people from different countries and cultures make friends to promote peace.

Interests

I enjoy architecture, design, and technology. I hike, ski, sometimes sail, dance, climb, river kayak, do yoga and read a lot about health and psychology. I'm also a newbie meditator.

I care deeply about everyone's future so sustainable living is a hot topic.
