About Me

I work in healthcare, spent several years in research doing molecular biology.
I live near the airport of Oslo. Married, one son born 2000.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy travelling, hosting and we have always had an open home for visitors:
With students or renting out an apartment I have counted 46 people staying with us (for 2-3 months or more) since we bought our house and home 18 yrs ago. The mutuality of the inquisitive mind, catering for basic traveling needs and simply guiding from our local expertise is a delight whenever possible.
I visit friends when I travel - and welcome new contacts.

Interests

Rock hound with mineral and fossil collecting
Music, cultures and expressions of different people and practises. Autographs.
Painting and drawing (I have done caricatures as well)
Masks, moulds and casting (life cast)
Eggs (yes - like in "Easter"): with art, design and several exhibitions I may call myself an "eggspert".
Bread baking,
Hiking, mountain walks, travelling. Skater

Music, Movies, and Books

Since being a student we started costume balls and have made annual events in Oslo with dancing and masquerades.
I play piano, organ, carillons - sometimes accompanying a singer or solist.
I enjoy a range of interests from history to science fiction.
