About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding my desert island

ABOUT ME

Make me laugh and I will show you! I love to explore, take risks and play. I dont take myself or life too seriously, but I have a serious side. I like switching between things a lot, and I often get stuck in thought, so if I disappear I usually come back with a comment completely unrelated to what you are talking about.

PHILOSOPHY

The division lies only in the interpretation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

couchsurfers staying with me in Oslo, and couchsurfed a bit around in Europe (France, Italy, Serbia, Croatia). More hosting and surfing in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my surfers staying with me in Oslo have made contributions to me personally and my couch surfing experience.

My trip around Europe opened my eyes even more, have been hosted by some amazing people! I love couchsurfers and couchsurfing adventures.

Interests

Cooking: Love spicy food- love trying out new recipies-cooking for people and having an interessting dinner cooked for me.

Photography: I'm definitely not a pro, but I love composition and looking for patterns. Trying to develop my eye for it, and sometimes Im really lucky when i snap and shoot.

People: I believe everybody I met has something to contribute with, and that there is a reason why I met just this person. Some people think this is naive, but i think it gives me purpose.

Drinking: lots of coffee in every form also love my tea and wine.

Stupid things: you say the words ‘beer can’ in a British accent, it sounds like you’re saying ‘bacon’ in a Jamaican accent.

Travelling: Been to Europe, Asia, Australia, America (north, south and central) -dream to go to Africa and more countries in South America.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people some about cooking- about sailing- about mountaineering -maybe about psychology and philosophy.

I wanna learn the drums and I am learning Argentine tango.
