About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I currently have a job where I have lot of time off. I would like to do as much travelling as I can, but also meet people in my home town. The long term goal is to circumnavigate the world in my sailboat :)

ABOUT ME

Currently working in the offshore industry in Norway to save up for a longer travel in the future (hopefully a sailtrip of 5+ years). I have grown up by the sea and always liked boats and fishing.

I enjoy to cook and more important, eat :) Garlic and chili are two very much appreciated ingredients. Also I do enjoy beer, and sometimes a glass of wine.

I enjoy nature. I spent one year in the lofoten Islands learning about the outdoors and how to be a mountain guide, but hiking and camping has always been important in my life. I have also done a few longer trips in kayak along the norwegian coast.

I also like to meet new people and I hope to get the opportunity to do that through couchsurfing :)

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your dreams!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to get to know different cultures and people. Learn about food and cooking. But mainly just have a good time :)

Interests

I truly enjoy hiking and camping. I also really enjoy being in a boat at sea.

Cooking, drinking, going to the pub with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy films and tv-series. I also enjoy relaxing with a book.

My favourite film is "The thin red line", a somewhat unusual choice. The good actors, the surreal setting and the balance between sane or crazy makes this a brilliant movie. I normally like action/ sci-fi but can appreciate other genres as well.

When it comes to books I have read a lot. I started reading Jack London, and Mark Twain when I was quite young, and the adventure books has since then been my favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent almost three weeks kayaking the norwegian coast by myself. One of the best experiences of my life.
