ABOUT ME

I have lived in Europe for last 10yrs., in Ireland and Deutschland. Ja...I like Europe ;) Right now, am helping to manage a bed & breakfast outside of Oslo, Norway. Am interested in music, mostly of metal variety ;). Love to travel in northern climes and searching for the best of nature and people.

Hmmm, I try to live with honour and with no deceit and to search for others of like mind. I am not willing to share my deepest thoughts on this site though, too personal.
