About Me

I live together with my beautiful wife Bernadette, who's also on CS. So usually you have to deal with both of us !
Oh, and you have to deal with the cat. He's a black fluffy hairball with yellow eyes. Beware, he might snuggle your feet at night !

I like couchsurfing, people are interesting and it's nice to hear what you're up to. Quite often, people are heading to trolltunga ! :P
If you like I'm more than ready to hike nearby trails around Drammen, there are quite a few.

I noticed a lot of couchsurfers are vegans or vegetarians. Let me know beforehand, I don't mind cooking vegetarian or vegan meals, love a good excuse to chomp down some veggies. Or if you wanna cook, the kitchen is all yours !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with others and spread love, understanding and friendship.

If you come during normal weekdays then I might not be able to hang out that much since I'll be working. You are welcome to send a request, but I might decline if I my schedule is too tight. I'd like to have to have time to get to know you. Don't hesitate to contact me if it's a last minute request.

I also appreciate if you are somewhat proficient in English since it's hard to connect in such a short time over language barriers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the Philippines for almost 3 years. I've seen what poverty looks like. Dirty families with naked children sitting on a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk next to a highway. Warm dirty exhaust blowing over them as they cook rice under their roof which is an umbrella.

While that is not amazing, it is eye opening coming from a privileged country like Norway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to hang out with someone who plays Ukulele !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Comfy bed, a round or two of board or card game, tea, conversation, sing and play some Ukulele and different activities depending on the season.

Denmark, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden
