About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Walk and camp in New Zealand

ABOUT ME

For the last year I've been cursing my restless wandering feet. It is a great challenge to not be settled anywhere. Even so, the good things that come out of never stopping weighs heavier than what wears you out. The curiosity of what is behind the next corner will always keep me going. And so will every story not yet heard, every weird creation of nature not yet seen, every path not yet walked and every smile from a stranger not yet exchanged.

I see myself as very open minded. We are all born to be special and I love it when people allow themselves to be so. That's when all the great surprises and perspective changing moments take place. I cherish that a lot.

My real estate situation at this moment consists of my one person tent. You are very welcome to come couchsurf on any preferred half of my sleeping mat. From about january I will hopefully have a place to stay in Oslo. If so, you will be very welcome there as well.

If someone offers me meat I'm not gonna be rude and say no, though I'm trying to be a vegetarian for the most part. I would love to kill cockroaches but I find it difficult when they are the size of dogs. And dogs are legends.

Zombie apocalypse and spiders are my worst fears, please don't take advantage of this, I don't know how I would react to any kind of prank in that manner.

PHILOSOPHY

Feel smart when you are stupid, it's your best opportunity to learn.

Respect people who respect people with less power than themselves.

Good intentions don't count, actions do.

Appreciate the ground you're walking on.

It's actually all luck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept on a loft above a pumping night club a tropical night in Berlin where a man was pissing in a bottle next to me because he didn't want to walk through the dance floor in his nightgown to get to the toilet, like I did. Unforgettable.

Other than that I guess I'm just stoked to wake up every day.
