HELLO EVERYBODY🎉

I am Eirik, a happy and friendly human. I like making jokes, learning about new people, things, history, culture, nature, traveling, scuba-diving, snowboarding, skateboarding, being open-minded, have some drinks, dancing, explore the world, music and being a free spirit!🐬

I like to be myself, to have fun in my life and not stress about anything!

CＵＲＲＥＮＴ ＭＩＳＳＩＯＮ 💁

💫To follow my dreams, do things i like and have a positive impact on the world. To always be growing and learning new things. I try to always be in the present moment. Above all I want to grow into the best person I can be, have fun, spread vibes of love and non-judgement and be happy!!!

My 3 years solo-travel journey started in Bangkok, Thailand in 2015, and first thing I did was couchsurfing!! Before I go to a hostel I already loved couchsurfing. I travel and work in Southeast Asia until 2017, when I moved to work in South-Africa as a diving instructor💦🦈teaching diving and guiding people on the reef, swimming with sharks, turtles, fish and all types of beautiful marine animals😄

In 2018 I went travelling around the US and Mexico. From May and until August I traveled Europe, and in 2023 I went to Taiwan and a little more around south east asia 🍾🍺😃

I have studied Childrens psychology and development for 3 years in a small Norwegian mountain/fjord town, Sogndal.

Currently living in Oslo working with persons with mental disabilities, and doing a masters degree within social work ❤️

👍Always down for any type of missions cause im just always stoked to do stuff and basically live life and to see new things and meet new people!🎉

💁As a guest I can only ask for a place to sleep.
Anything more than a place to sleep is a bonus!🙏🏻 I have big interest for travelling and all the different way for travelling, especially solotravel and budgettravel! So I want to share and learn about travelling experiences🌍!

I like nature, oceans, sharks, fun activities, politics, history, astronomy, architecture, art, music, religion, culture and of course travelling. I like a lot of things hehe, the world is just so cool!!😎

I love cooking, and I want to cook something for you 👌🏻👨‍🍳🍅🥑🌮🍓

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a genious concept, and i like getting to know new people! As a person I am very curious and genuinly interested in other humans. I am like to learn about other cultures and have a good time as well as being an enjoyable guest for any host as well as being a good host.

Coushsurfing people are great people and I just love the concept!

I genuinely want to contribute to making your travel adventure better than it already is, and how could I do that better than cutting down on your biggest expense, accomodation, with the whole social aspect as a HUGE bonus!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swim with hundreds of sharks in my life🦈 I love sharks so much!

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach English and Norwegian language, and about Norway culture, history and politics! I can teach you how to scuba, and about the ocean and marine life, especially sharks! Also experiences from travelling and working in different countries🌎

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun! I am a silly guy, who loves to make people laugh - I am up to do anything whilst traveling, either work in your garden, clean your house, join you for a walk or make a crazy adventure!😅✌️ Besides this, I love talking about anything and everything. I'm always excited to learn new things about cultures and people, being open minded and having fun 😊 I am not very shy, I enjoy sharing my more personal thoughts and life experiences.
