CURRENT MISSION

I am raising my 4-year-old son with my wonderful wife.

ABOUT ME

Easy going. Social. I Like city life with cafes, walking in the forest, or climbing the local gym. I love meeting new and interesting people who can give me a new perspective on life.

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna Matata - When possible :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am really into meeting new people. I can relate to the Couchsurfing experience with generous, warm, and unpretentious people. I was a Couchsurfing ambassador for a short while but had to give it up to focus on my son, Gabriel.

When I can not travel I have found that travel can come to me... with Couchsurfing.

Interests

Mountain Climbing and mountain trekking. I am very interested in science, technology, and social economics. I am also a huge TED Talks fan. I have seen hundreds of talks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A young, curious reindeer approached me as I watched the midnight sun on Svalbard. It was an awe-inspiring moment when I felt very connected to nature.

Sandboarding the dunes of Ica, Peru was pretty nice.
Climbing on my local spot in Oslo is also.. nice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about all kinds of stuff.
I know little about positive psychology (Science of Happiness), social economics, future tech, and business development. Also curious about a LOT of other stuff :)-

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a story and a bottle of beer if I have some extra time on my hands ( not so often nowadays, unfortunately). I will gladly make us a meal... Or you could make us a meal. Either way.. love tasting new food with strange people.
