About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn the guitar, study for my masters and travel in South America!

ABOUT ME

I love food.

I spend my days conteplating and I think alot. That's why I have the "deer starring into headlights" look all the time. I'm really solution oriented and problems doesen't exist. Only challenges.

I've spent nearly all my life in nature rich Norway, with the forrest just outside my dorstep. I love skiing - cross country and downhill, camping and hiking, skating, and tons of other sports.

And beer. I love beer.

I am kind and warm hearted, not judgemental and i accept you for who you are, so don't be shy!

Coffee is my speciallity. I've worked for one year in a café, and one could say I'm mildly enthusiastic about coffee. I'm also learning to play the guitar.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay on the right path, be polite and be nice to people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host when time allows me to, and I spread a good mood!

I love to cook, so why not let me give it a try?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some, but never surfed. Looking forward to surfing soon!

Interests

I love to have my opinions challenged, to learn new things about myself and others. I Try to listen more to music, I was learning to play guitar (but I've given up a little) and I love science!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skied 1500 kilometers from Trondheim to Porsangermoen (63-70 degrees north) in Norway, february-may in 2009. I lived in the cold wilderness for 3 months. I have eaten raindier.

Teach, Learn, Share

Take care of your feet. Tend to them, and care for them. You never know how long you might have to walk one day. Stay hydrated. Especially if you are traveling by feet or using your own body as motor. When it is cold outside and you are on the move, try not to wear your warm clothing. After some minutes you could become too warm and start sweating. When night comes you have nothing warm and dry to sleep in. There are a lot of other things I could teach, like cleaning water with a plastic bottle, stones and different layers of sand and dirt. This is a slightly complicated, so I'll teach you this if you visit my coach.

Stay open minded. Listen to people and try to understand their perspective. You don't have to agree, just understand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's not obligatory to be there all the time. Travelers often appreciate company, but just be clear about what you can, or have time to do or not. I had an extra set of keys for my surfers. Worked fine for me. Didn't ask for deposits.
