CURRENT MISSION

Learn. Learn everything!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Norway, went to Toulouse, France for my engineering studies. After three years there, I decided to take a year off to travel the world. I went to Argentina, Jordan, Syria, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Korea, the USA, and Canada.

After another year in Toulouse and one semester in Japan, I'm doing an internship back in Kongsberg!

To speak more descriptively, I prefer to dress in shirts and hats, which is much more practical than you'd think. Especially when travelling.

I'm curious and easily interested in anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I usually take a practical approach. What works, works. No need to complicate things further.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just the usual hosting (though now not possible) and surfing while travelling. I also try to inform people I meet travelling about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my experiences have been great. CS continues to be the amazing, unbelievable system it is.

Interests

Judo. Theatrical improvisation. Comedy songs from the 30's. Sci-fi novels. Mathematics. Foodstuff. Drinkstuff. Languages. Paintings. The Harmonica. Electronics. The way technology is developing. People.

Music, Movies, and Books

All the Discworld books. Also, books by Isaac Asimov and Neil Gaiman. Lately, I've been reading many short stories by Phillip K. Dick.

As for music, I like many things. I have a fondness for old music, 70s and back, but I do find more resent music I like too. Carnival palace, Metis, some Norwegian stuff.

When it comes to movies.. Well, I can list the ones I have here. 12 Monkeys, season 1 of the X-files, a Marx brothers film, Dr. Strangelove, V for Vendetta, Sin City and the hitch-hikers TV-series(from the 80s).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to France. Worked at a horse ranch thingee in Patagonia, Argentina. Hiked alone in the desert of Wadi Rum.
Made amazing chocolate dessert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am studying engineering subjects, so my knowledge in those are increasing every day, and I'd be happy to share, though I doubt it's frightfully interesting.

My French is not too shabby these days. I have knowledge about Norway if anybody wants to know.
