About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In 2012 I gave away all my stuff, and decided go on an adventure exploring the world while working online. Currently flowing through Switzerland towards Italy

ABOUT ME

I'm life-loving outgoing norwegian in love with traveling - so much I decided to do it full-time for a year or two. (It's now my 4th year)

Gave away all my stuff, and I'm now excited about meeting new people and exploring the world - whether that's playing guitar around a bonfire on the Mexican beaches, having a meaningful conversation over dinner in France, or dancing in the streets of Cuba for no reason at all but to enjoy our life...

PHILOSOPHY

"To be yourself in a world that's constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment"

"I'm bored is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless, it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say I’m bored. "
- Louis CK

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a full-time traveler at the moment, using CouchSurfing to connect with like minded people around the globe who enjoy life, traveling and making new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time I was in Aachen, Germany - I randomly got into couch surfing after my friend found a good place for us to stay.

The guy we stayed at, Oliver, made sure we had a great first experience - and he later became one of my good friends, visiting Norway frequently, and also doing a lot of key work for my business!

Who knew such a random stay at a couch would turn into that?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Playing guitar, dancing and singing songs about life, brotherhood and peace with a bottle of rum and cuban friends at the Malecon in Havana
- Swimming in a dark cave deep under the mountain, scared and freaked out while laughing all at the same time!
- Spending two months on the beach of Mazunte in Mexico, forgetting how it felt to have shoes on my feet.
- Horseback riding in Viñales... and not being able to walk for 3 days :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn how to dance, speak spanish and hear stories about traveling! I'm really curious and I'm learning everywhere I go.

Oh and I run a business in Norway that helps men and women connect better and create more passionate relationships, but I can't imagine anyone being interested in that....
