About Me

Hallo there! I'm not registered as a man, when you visit me you visit my whole family, whether you like it or not. I live together with mye two kids; Sindre (boy) turning 21 and Amalie (girl) 16.

Like to think that we are openminded, outgoing, easygoing, friendly and easy to like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We will foremost be the one in the receiving end, since we're a family. We have always been interested in foreign cultures and people.
During our stay at Værøy, a small community, which has a lot of tourism and very few beds to offer, we came into this by coincident. That said, we have heard about way back, but have never got to the registration-part.
So here we are, hoping for some new acquaintances and some positive input, especially for our kids.

Interests

Almost every kind of sports: I have practiced soccer, tennis, squash, crosscountry-skiing, alpine-skiing, table-tennis, padel, badminton...
writing, photo, photoediting, teaching, wildlife, camping, fishing.

I'm also active naturist and ice-bader. I like the idea about yoga and meditation, but are not good enough when it comes to practising it.
