About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Raise my son, have some fun, and see the world!

ABOUT ME

If I was to narrow it down, I'd say music and food are my main passions. I also love movies and TV series.

I have a son who lives half the time with me, and half the time with his mother. Whenever he is with her, I will be happy to let you surf my couch.

The town i live in, is perfect in the summertime, and is located about 30-40 min away from Oslo. (The norwegian capital.)

I run a music studio in Oslo with some friends, so I go there rather often, and might be able to pick you up there, or give you a lift in if you need it.

I am a liberal guy. I love meeting different people.
As previously mentioned, I love food, so if you have anything to contrubite with from your own culture, I won't be the one to stop you. (I dont only love food, I also like cooking, so I'll be eagar to learn new tricks of the trade.)

My dream is to find somewhere warm and quiet and open a small resturant where I can grow old while making food and music. Pour myself some red wine and maybe write a book. Somewhere my friends and family can come and visit me, and new friends can be made.

PHILOSOPHY

I am of the belive that life is about making the good outweigh the bad. That's why I take every opportunity to enjoy life and be happy. I am not afraid of work, but I am not afraid not to work either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to lend out my couch to traveling strangers. I will be happy to help reach your goals, and set you back on your quest after passing through here. Hopefully, you are like me - adventurous, and just out to see the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed many a sofa at a friends house, but I never surfed the sofa of a complete stranger.
The other day I found some really cheap tickets to Venice in Italy, and decided to go a couple of days all by myself. Now, one of my best friends might be coming to, and we where just gonna go down there and see what happened. (Still havent booked a hotel.)
My mom sendt me a link to this page, and now I am considering trying it for the first time.
I hope me and my friend will find a sofa to crash on the first day, and see where faith takes us.
Maybe we will find a hotel next day, or maybe we will keep surfing sofa's for life. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... I have done and seen much already that I consider amazing. But in this case I choose to share something that tells more about myself.

At least once a year, I get my boys together, and we leave the women and children behind, and go do something different.
This year, we went riverboard rafting and climbing.
We also had some painball matches, and gocart races.
For me, the climbing was the craziest thing ever, as I am afraid of heights. (Or..well... it's not the heights I am afraid of, it's falling down that scares me. xD )

Other then that. The wiev's I have seen in the north of norway is also amazing. It has some of the most beautyful scenery you could ever imagine!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how I live my life. For me, this is a good life. Maybe it could be for you to.

I hope you can teach me something about other types of life. I hope you will all give me inspiration.

Ohh, btw, if anyone out there could teach me how to control myself it would be greatly aprechiated!
