I'm from a town in Norway, but I have lived most of my grown up life in Oslo.

I love history.
I love traveling and being in other countries.
I love hiking in jungles and mountains.
I love waffles, both making them and eating them :D
I love cross country skiing.

I don't care if you write a personal message or not. I enjoy the randomness of the people I meet. So far I've realized it's impossible to know how you connect before you meet. Some of my best experiences on cs have been the ones with people totally different from me.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything always works out, so don't stress and plan too much:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host when I'm in Norway:) And I try to be a nice guest when I surf.
I'm an ok guy to have around, some would even say fun!:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a couple of guests and I've been surfing a couple of times. So far it has worked perfectly and I'm looking forward to my world trip to see how it works on other continents.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled through Asia one year and met fantastic people and cultures!!!!

Lived one year in the north of Norway and experienced many a night outside with stars and northern lights(aurora borealis). Still the most spectacular natural phenomenon I've seen to this day.

Diving with thresher sharks in Malapascua was awesome.

Trans Siberian railway through Russia and Mongolia with a bunch of awesome people!

China! China! If you wanna see one thing before you die; China! A fantastic place! If someone's ever going to kill me, I hope it will be through poisoned Kung Pao Chicken!

Bungee jumping tickled a lot in the belly.

Road tripping in Europe with my 1990 SAAB 900.
