Currently I am in Halifax until November 6th.

I am a 201cm of giant man. I usually live in Canada and I tell people that I am 6'8'' in heels when I want to feel pretty when people ask me about my height. I weigh 100kg give or take 100kg. I appreciate wit, silliness, absurdism and sarcasm. I prefer people who don't take themselves to seriously and enjoy playful teasing that can go back and forth and I'm very hard to offend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like people n' stuff.

Interests

Anything new and unheard of. I love stories in all different shapes and mediums.

• film making
• cooking
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of old and foreign films and tend to follow and have a strong interest in certain directors, alive or dead. I made this list a long time ago which I don't really keep up to date if you are willing to plough through my list of 300+ movies.

I love a lot of graphic novels/comics and tend to lean toward the Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman kind of stuff. Its always a treat to discuss these topics in depths with people with the same interests. Always hard to pin down a musical taste... I like a lot of indie kind of stuff although it is hard to say that since it just covers so many different types of music. I love Sigur Ros and Animal Collective, which is what i have been listening to mostly lately.

Big fan of standup as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As an initiation process in becoming a man from where I am from you have to fight and kill a polar bear at the age of 13 with your bare hands with the choke hold being the most revered method. Of course I did this when I was 12.

That is at least something that I managed to convince 2/3 friends that I had to do while growing up in Iceland.

I also am quite proud of the fact that I completed the Camera Trainee program in Toronto and am a 2nd Camera Assistant in the union.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an interest and appreciations ranging many different topics. I love film and filmmaking and would love to share any information about that to anyone who is eager to learn. I tend to be technically minded and always enjoy a conversation down that road, to either teach or learn. I'd love to learn traveling tips, from anything as to what to pack and where to go even. I'd be interested to learn anything that anyone would be willing to teach me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking skills and the ability to reach things that very few other mortal men can.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Iceland
