About Me

Since leaving high school I've found I have a passion for traveling and so I've made it a point to do as much of it as I possibly can. So far I've mostly done high intensity traveling, visiting multiple places in a short amount of time, but after I'm done with university the dream is to travel around indefinitely for a while, working wherever I find wifi as a digital nomad. That's a real thing, look it up ;)

PHILOSOPHY

My generation has access to opportunities previous generations could only dream about. The internet, an unending fountain of information, gives us access to education, communities and cheap flights like never before and to be completely honest I get a little mad when people just turn a blind eye to it. I'm not saying everyone should fall in love with traveling and seeing the world, but I think everyone who has the opportunity owe it to themselves, and to those that did not have the opportunity, to at least try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I get travel withdrawal pretty easily so CS is a great way to get a quick fix and reconnect with travelers when I'm not out there myself. When I am out traveling I love meeting other people and experiencing the world with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went scuba diving with sharks at Fiji. No cage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking and teaching tech, coding and entrepreneurship to anyone who will listen :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you host me I will cook you (and your friends) a full meal of Norwegian Tacos. It's a thing.

Other than that I'd be happy to share stories from previous travels, an insider look at Norwegian/European culture, and pretty much anything else you want or I can come up with. Sharing is good, it makes us grow :)
