I am Audun, a 37 year old male,
At first sight, you might find me a bit pale.
But don't you worry, there's more than meets the eye,
A bit shy, but full of stories - never telling a lie.

My native city of Trondheim in the cold north of Norway is usually dark and cold,
So when someone give me a chance to escape to a sunny, southern place, I'm sold.
I am a firm believer in an active and healthy lifestyle,
And travelling to foreign countries makes me walk the extra mile.

I started travelling in the year 2006,
Now 14 years on, and my travel addiction still exists.
Each year I add a new place and adventures to my bucket list,
Like the dream that is to travel deep into the Amazon covered in cloud and mist.

My other passion is cooking good food,
Because without it I am not in the right mood.
Lebanese and Indonesian makes my mouth watery,
But trust me, I could also live all my life in a bakery.

Now that I have introduced myself, it's your turn to shine,
You might very well start with the famous line, "once upon a time".
I've got a spare bed and space for you to enjoy your stay,
City sightseeing, chilling or dancing the night away.
