I´m a nerd who is passionate about woodwork and traditional crafts. I´m patient, very chilled, kinda funny and rather generous.
We are a family of 3 + a fluffy cat. I am a woodcarver, my husband is an eletrician by day and a drummer the rest of the time, our daughter is the leader of a kindergarden gang involved in the black market of vanilla ice cream and our cat Kjøleskap is a beautiful Norwegian forest cat, who perhaps will greet you if she is in a doggy mood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because that is what they did in the old days. Accepting guests in homes has been part of the history until hotels took over.
It means that we all have the opportunity to practise selfless generosity, and have this trade of goodness with people.

Interests

Woodwork and other types of handcraft are a big part of my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can´t pick a favourite anything, I am insterested in far too many things.
When it comes to books I like history related or educational or philosophy.
Music goes for most modern classical alternative (don´t even know if it qualifies as that), instrumental progressive indie rock, I listen to most styles in different doses if it is not poor quality music.
Movies, I am open to many styles cas it is nice to see different views on storytelling. Main stream movies that are made solely to raise movie don´t appeal to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve been part of the team who carved the head for the biggest viking ship known to men, Draken Haraldhårfagre. I really like making things and it will be nice to one day tell my grandchildren about that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The apartment is small, perhaps our kid had a hard day and is grumpy, but there is always good simple food and a clean soft sofa to spend the night.
