I live with my girlfriend (Nathalie from Holland) of the last 6 years in the centre of Oslo. She works as a user researcher for a publishing house, and I'm a barista at a bakery, and I study IT at the University of Oslo. We're usually very busy during the day, but don't mind the odd surfer on our couch if you don't mind getting up early. I'm also a vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The philosophy behind Couchsurfer. I love the idea of making travel more accessible for people with less money to spare.

Interests

I read quite a bit, listen to way too many podcasts, love cooking, enjoy discussions, and most of all have a great passion for everything mountain-related. My camera also always joins me on my trips, but I sadly use it way too little in day to day life.

Music, Movies, and Books

In music, anything from Bon Iver to Meshuggah. I also try to diversify as much as I can when it comes to books. My recent favourites are Steven Pinker's "The Better Angels of our Nature" (not what you think. Just google it) and Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel". I'm quite picky about movies, but enjoy a large variety of genres. As long as it's well made.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For new years 2014, me and two friends of mine drove from Trondheim to Sarajevo to celebrate new year's eve. We didn't plan anything but the end point and the latest return date, so naturally it ended up being huge fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic mountaineering and skiing if we both have some spare time and money. Other than that, I can show you around Oslo if time allows. Which is actually really worth it.

Whatever you can teach me is more than welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nathalie and I can share our apartment and I can cook for you once or twice if our schedules fit. I also love being challenged to thing in new ways, so sharing a long conversation or discussion is a surefire way to keeping me up way too late into the night.
