I am a restless soul, currently living in Mytilene, Lesvos. I have lived most of my life in Oslo, Norway and Venice, Italy but staying in one place seems to be not for me. Being a norwegian i have an enormous appetite for sun. At the moment my life gets meaning from meeting people, sharing stories and breaking boundaries. I try to be free from concepts and judgments about how life is supposed to be lived. I am a tranquil guy, i enjoy serenity, simplicity, kindness and all the simple pleasures in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling a lot. The last 3 years my boat has been my home, but i am not tired yet of seeing new places and meeting new people. I am new to couch surfing, i usually stayed in hostels, but i find it to be a great idea so there is really no point not to give it a try. Besides i would really enjoy hosting people on my boat, both because i am proud of it and want others to experience how it is to live on a boat, and because it can be lonely at times! I have always enjoyed meeting other travelers.

Interests

I enjoy creating music a lot. From my childhood i have always been playing the piano. I also play accordion and harmonica. I also enjoy running and working out in nature. And i love to have a swim from my boat, and to read a good book in the hammock afterwards.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite author the last year was Charles Eisenstein for his views on the world and hopeful message for the future. I like a lot of different music, but being a jazz musician myself i love John Coltrane in particular for the uncompromising beauty and energy in his playing. Besides Johnny Cash and Alisson Krauss were always much played on the boat. About movies, i love "Coffee and cigarettes", "Walk the line", "The good, the bad and the ugly", and "Kung fu Panda".
