About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making radio about nature

ABOUT ME

I'm a nature nerd. Give me a kayak, a camera, a scuba tank or just a pair of hiking shoes and watch a smile spread across my face.
When I'm not on a walkabout, there's a fair chance that I'm drawing comics or dabbling in electronic music. Or maybe cooking.
Journalism, the job that chose me, is a perfect opporunity do do what I like best: seeing what's on the other side of that hill.
Sometimes I feel lost, but I think I enjoy getting lost.

PHILOSOPHY

Look around you and describe what you see in words and pictures. Then compare with others and get inspired.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot in my line of work, and couch surfing is just so much more fun than hotels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being on a rubber raft in northern norway, surrounded by orca whales. Hard to beat!

Teach, Learn, Share

Improve your drawing skills by becoming aware of "empty" areas on a figure. The forehead on a face, the length of legs, anything that just sits between two points of focus is often forgotten and therefore drawn too small.
