CURRENT MISSION

Being a committed human being. Enjoying life in the capital of Norway and working for a software company. Travel as much as possible to explore what the world has to offer.

ABOUT ME

A people person! Born in Norway, been living in South Africa, Australia and Denmark. Destination unknown. Love everything that´s different! I am ambitious, straight forward, including and very positive. Always eager to met new friends and exploring new thing about the world - and myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe luck is an attitude and that you can only be as happy as you choose to be. Instead of going through life on cruise control, I believe paying attention to what´s happening around us in this very moment, enables us to extract greater value from each situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Respond to requests and take part at CS events to meet interesting, funny and kind people. Surf and hosts when I have the time :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time couch surfing was in India in 2013. Amazing experience! Hosted a few people in Copenhagen - which has been awesome. Ask David about his Destortion experience ;)

Interests

I like sports and nature, especially combined. I try my best to live a healthy life, which to me means to maintain "the balance". Furthermore I am enthusiastic about learning in general, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people, traveling, music, enjoying nice food and beer/wine with friends and family. And, I love innovation, and innovative spirits!

Music, Movies, and Books

I would like to be Karen Blixen in Out of Africa... Loved Shantaram! Last but not least, I have been growing up with Astrid Lindgren´s books - which opened a new world to me many years ago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was amazing...
...going on a self financed exchange to South Africa for a year, when I was 17 years old
...working as a tour guide assistant at the highest mountain in Norway when I was 14 years old
...witnessing a man propose to his girlfriend on a bench in front of me in New York
...driving more than 2000 km to see the midnight sun
...surfing with sharks on the wild coast in South Africa
...living in a township and being the only white at my school in South Africa
...attending an Indian wedding

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you
- about Scandinavian culture
- to make the best cinnamon buns

I´d love to learn more about
- your culture
- music and dance (I have a guitar but not much of a musician)
- your secret recipes
- your religion (as long as you respect that I don´t practice any myself)

We could share a good laugh. Or many

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to I could bring Norway's biggest invention: the cheese slicer!
