Hei! I'm a musician from the southernmost valley in Norway. I have been moving around a lot, but the last years Sweden has been my home.

Curious about nearly anything, always thinking a lot, and much too analytically minded to be able to write anything sensible in a presentation like this.

The violin is my dearest company wherever I go and I grew up playing Norwegian folk music. I later studied jazz and world music and listen to just about everything.

Languages – it's just an always ongoing project. I studied French linguistics, and I'm just as fascinated by silly linguistic infinitesimals as beautiful literature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a somewhat clumsy tourist, but I love to live in new places. Couchsurfing gives you a little taste of that, and allows you to cultivate your trust in coincidences and meet a lot of remarkable people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The past year or so I have taken a big step back, trying to figure out why so many things just don't feel quite right. You know, this whole thing about what am I doing in this world and what the f… is really going on around here. Well, I've managed to slow down and simplify and perhaps figured out a few things, and enjoying the journey a lot!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to play the spoons, or if you've got an old 10-hole harmonica lying around, I'll teach you a little something. Or how about getting the bases for your first Esperanto conversation?
