About Me

ABOUT ME

I think of myself as a sympathic, open-minded and curious guy. I love travelling and to be out hiking in the nature. Besides that, I have studied architecture in Trondheim, and am now working. I have always enjoyed to draw and build stuff since I was a kid, so beeing creative is an important part of life I think.
I have lived in Tokyo for one year where I both worked at an architectural office and studied at Tokyo Institute of Technology. I love the Japanese culture, people and architecture, so my stay in Japan was a really good one.

I like to meet new people and expand my horizon. I also believe that good things can come from small things, like a good conversation on a nice cafe or just a simple smile in everyday life. I hope that people in the CS-community will keep contribute to my horizon.

PHILOSOPHY

These are strange days
These are mysterious ways
These days are never the same
But who are we to blame?
- inspired by the doors

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the last year I haven't participated so much, as I have no couch to offer now, but I love the concept, and I will probably participate more later, an I am always up for meeting people in Trondheim, showing you the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosting some couchsurfers in Norway, and I've also been surfing in Japan and Korea.
