About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Summer! Need I say more?

ABOUT ME

I am Norwegian and born here but moved to the USA at age six. In my mid 20s I moved across the pond to the UK and after many years settled in Oslo.

I love to cook and have a fond appreciation for good art. I am creative and interested in many things, which means a jack of all trades and master of nothing :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself and enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My experience with CS goes back a few years. In the beginning I participated alot, but due to time constraints and personal adventures, haven't been very active in the last two years.

Starting to get re-involved and hope to be a good steward to the many people visiting Norway.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

They didn´t have CS when I was travelling :( But I still had some interesting overnights in strange places...

Music, Movies, and Books

Where to start? Music - Anything from jazz to electronica. Currently experiencing a period of fine tuning all the influences that came about from youth to present - read punk to the orchestra.

Film: I dig me some good films. Suggestions appreciated whether out of Hollywood or Bollywood.

Books: With the internet, my reading comprehension level has dropped a few points but still manage to slog through an old fashioned medium or two without batting an eye. I am currently working my way through a Nesbø.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling. No 7 wonders here, just a lot of travel around different places combined with experiences that to me are unique. Even if everyone else has been there before. But you never know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make spit bubbles from the tip of my tongue :)
