Please read the "How to write a couch request" under my Sleeping Arrangements (my Home tab)! before messaging me - I also highly recommend keeping it in mind when writing to other hosts, they will appreciate it! :)

I'm a very social, friendly, outgoing and happy swing dancer. I work full time in IT mainly as a network technician/technical supply manager, but it's a small company, so I have many tasks. On my spare time I dance and instruct Rock Step swing, but I also like to "fake" other dance styles, like Salsa, West Coast swing and Boogie Woogie.
I keep myself busy a lot of the time since I love being with people rather than just sitting at home, but when I do end up at home I enjoy a bit of retro gaming (SNES, N64 and so on).
At the moment I live with a friend. Weekdays I will probably just host if he is not at home. Weekends we'll see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people, because people are awesome! And at the same time I can help someone live cheap in a very expensive city, which is also awesome. Also I have a big pull out couch which is a pity not to let people take advantage of..
Other benefits are of course that I feel I am not nearly good enough at being a tourist in Oslo/Norway and having couchsurfers could give me an excuse to go out and see the sites more often,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many awesome experiences. Hard to name one but maybe:
Travelling through the mid and south of Madagascar, through the vastly different areas, from rainforests to mountains and plains. Meeting lemurs in the one place they actually live naturally. A fantastic family trip exploring our heritage and my great grandfathers influence as a missionary, decades ago.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Swing, and probably other things that I just don't feel confident enough in to write as a "promise" here. Guitar maybe?
Learn: Anything? Learning new stuff is always fun!
Share: Experiences/stories, my home, norwegian quirks (then again, maybe a traveller will be even better at teaching ME about them). Travel, if we hit it off :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Much the same as the "share" with couchsurfers. Except for my apartment of course. Unless my hosts come to visit Oslo.. Then I'd be more than happy to return the favour!
