About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting back to the real world ;-)

ABOUT ME

Hi!

I've been traveling the world a few years ago (my blog from that trip, until my laptop broke: http://www.chrisgoeswest.com/), having a great time with CouchSurfing. Now I'm back home, with a couch to spare :)

I'm a friendly gigant (194 cm/6'4") who loves to travel and discover new cities. When I'm not doing that, I'm stuck where I am now: In front of the computer. But I enjoy it, as I am one of those IT guys you keep hearing about ;)

If you would want to find me in my spare time, you might have to look quite a while. I might be: In a café, theater, cinema, driving range, pub, somewhere in nature, museum, my kitchen (love to cook), out traveling or from time to time I can be a couch potato. Hey! Being lazy is important - once in a while :)

Oh, I say "I", but the profile says "several". That's because I live with my gorgeous girlfriend. Just so you know... ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is here to be lived - and you only get one chance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've enjoyed surfing many couches, but lately I am more of a host/guide to the beautiful city of Trondheim!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hey, isn't that pretty much the same question as the last one?

Interests

So much fun, so little time :) Soccer, cooking, cafés, bowling, fishing, paintball, traveling (obviously), board games, movies, concerts... And the list goes on :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mostly rock, but also a lot of non-rock... Too much to list!

Movies: Quentin Tarrantino is a big hero when it comes to movies, but I like a lot of different films.

Books: My latest great reads where Malcolm Gladwell's books - so good non-fiction is something I enjoy. Good fiction is also fun, but there is so much bad fiction :( A good crime novel? Yes, thank you :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My trip "around the world"... That's in quotes, as I ran out of money a little early, so the last third of the trip was in one single flight... :-s

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you around Trondheim and give you pointers to what you MUST see before leaving!
