CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed guy, who is currently based in Japan, after travelling the world with my wife.
I'm originally from Norway and have lived in Australia for a long time (over 20 years), before I moved to Japan.

PHILOSOPHY

I take things easy - why stress, right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm a passive CSer. I have hosted once, but never been a guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted two CSers, Yuan and her mum. We met in Peru, and as they were travelling my way, I was happy to offer them 'the couch' (was a sofa bed) for a few nights.
Yuan cooked, and provided chocolate! :)
Definitely a good intro to hosting!

Interests

Travelling (of course).
I enjoy snowboarding in winter and chilling by the pool in summer.
I can't live without books, mixing it up with fiction and non-fiction..

• animals
• cats
• books
• chocolate
• traveling
• billiards
• snowboarding
• rock climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I watch pretty much any type.
Music: I'm not too into music - I almost never remember who sings what. If it sounds good, I'll listen.
Books: I do love reading! I'm working through a bunch of non-fiction books now, but I enjoy fiction, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hang-gliding over Rio!
Helicopter ride over Iguazu Falls!
Climbing Wayna Picchu, overlooking Machu Picchu in Peru!
Traveling through the Amazon rainforest!
Snowboarding in Japan!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a friendly guy, and enjoy swapping travel stories. Tell me the crazy things that happened to you and we'll do the same.
I'm clean and tidy, my mother raised me well, so there won't be a mess left after me.
I love animals and my wife loves cats specifically.
