Overview
About Me
I built a little soil hut on a small hill in the forest that I want to share with you!
October 2024 update : At the moment I won’t be able to meet you if you stay in the Gamme as I’m traveling. After hitchhiking with boats over the Atlantic, then traveling from island to island through the Caribbean to Mexico and have then been traveling south. I am now in Colombia. Not flying anymore due to the climate crisis and really enjoying the adventures of traveling slowly. The plan is to learn, enjoy and explore different ways of living with nature, and absorb all the culture and art on the way 😁
I love art, film, music, dance, philosophy and the outdoors. Amo el arte, yoga, el cine, la música, la danza, la filosofía y la naturaleza.

What I Can Share with Hosts
A very primitive soil hut built with almost only found materials, driftwood and so on. No electrcity, no water, no wifi. Cooking on open fire in the stove (pots in the gamme) or on an old camping stove. No toilet, (burn your paper) No shower, but a lake to swim in quite close. A sofa that can be turned in to a double bed.
Bring wood, a sleeping bag if you have and water. Drinkable water in the lake if you boil it well, or fill the bottles in Kabelvåg. Axe for cutting wood is there. 20-40 min walk to the centre of Kabelvåg, depends on the season. It can be really hard to find it, so make sure you have enough experience with navigating with map, plan well, use the daylight and have proper clothes and shoes for a hike.
I lived outside + in the gamme for 1,5 a year because I love the outdoors and was longing for solitude and calmness. I don’t live there anymore, so you will be left alone. A place to think, read, write, make art, be outoor, meditate, be quiet, be loud, or just be.
