About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Confirm that we all have something in common - a stranger is a friend you do not know yet.

ABOUT ME:
I am an open-minded guy, quite busy at times though, but happy to spend time with my guests when I can (and if it is wanted). I have been on couchsurfing since 2009.

I am happy to answer questions about traveling and hiking in Norway. But if you wonder about job opportunities in Norway, please go to www.nav.no (there are some info in english), or look at http://ec.europa.eu/eures/.

I am a very social guy, easy to get in contact with, easy to talk to, openminded. Like hiking and nature adventures, like cooking, making friends and social activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer a double bed in a separate bedroom, there is also an additional single bed in the same room. I have been an authorized tour leader for hiking trips in norwegian mountains. I would be happy to give advices about hiking in Norway, and travelling in Norway in general. It might also be that we can take you on a trip in the norwegian mountains, or og for mushroom picking if I have time. I don't go on crowded hiking trips though, like the hike to Preikestolen.

Interests
