About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world. All the way round in two months.

ABOUT ME

Just quit my job and looking to find a way to be traveling and earn a living writing books, doing food guide stuff and occational freelance jobs.
Father to two teenageboys, single, but that is not going to be forever ☺️
I love good manners. To me it means that you see the other person and tries to make them comfortable.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything must be tried - leave nothing behind.
Just do it, is a slogan I can relate to and try to live by

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Havent really. But I want new people in my life. And am already set for some pretty good experience on my trip im Australia next.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A slim one. And another where the host double booked. But still took me in.
Looking forward to the next ones

Interests

I walk every day, listening to books or podcasts.

Right now I play padel and go biking. I love ice cold baths and warm saunas.
Skiing is af big thing in my live, and I do it once or twice a year.

I have come to resent daily news and love perspectives in stead.
Still I subscribe to several news outlets because they have the best analyzing brains.

Gastronomi on the highest level has been a thing for years, and I expect to participate in a book about the 14 northern three star michelin-restaurants.

I really enjoy discussions on topics a bit larger than life. I am an agnostic open to new ideas.

I want to know you. That is an interest of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited the top of the inland ice on Greenland.
Grasping the feeling of the vastness of the universe.
Watching my children being delivered

What I Can Share with Hosts

Having been a food critic I know both how to find the hair in the soup and always find nice things to say 😉
But let me cook and pick/bring the wine.
Conversation is my thing. I really love to get to know people.
I love kids, let me take care of them.
