Hello! Cześć! Hi! Allô! ¡Hola! Hei! I'm Aslak. I've spent most of my life so far in the regions of Nordland in northern Norway, growing up amongst the mountains and sea in Tromsø, Lofoten and Bodø. I really enjoy being in the outdoors, both on my own, but especially in the company of good friends. I am a sucker for home-baked cinnamon buns and the taste of freshly brewed coffee from an outdoor bonfire. I'm interested in other cultures, languages and traveling, and would like to expand my knowledge a lot more about these things. I am living in the south of Norway at the moment, but in summer I'll go back up north again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I spent two weeks skiing through the mountains of Northern Sweden in the middle of winter on my own. It was cold, lonely and eventually pretty nice, and afterwards I felt (and smelt) like a different person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to make a proper bonfire from what you find in nature, as well as how to prepare your perfect cup of norwegian "bålkaffe", coffee made on a fire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Unfortunately, I don't have a permanent residence at the moment, so I am therefore not able to host any travellers. But - if you are nearby and feeling like hanging out and spending some time together, be sure to let me know!
