About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The possibility of a place to sleep that does not mean paying a lot is what drew me to CS in the first place (as a student it's hard to afford both a plane ticket and a hostel...). But more important is the opportunity to "learn" from local people how to get the most out of my stay when I am visiting a new place. Such insight is far more accurate than any travel guide can provide! I am also very outgoing and love to meet new people, which makes CS a much more fun way to travel than staying in a hostel!

Interests

The last couple of years I've spent a lot of time doing sports and outdooractivities such as mountainbiking, Snowboard, freeskiing, telemark and backcountryskiing, surfing, climbing, skating and diving.

In between the adrenalinfilled activities I hike up in the wonderfull and mystic mountains of Norway. Tenting and have good times with friends while fishing.

I also like to travel and experience new places and meet new fascinating people. Since I spend a lot of time in the wild I love spending time in the city and attending cultural and artistic happenings.
