About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore France and Europe during my 1-year stay at INSA Lyon

ABOUT ME

I'm really tall (2m,~6'6ft)
I have a dark sense of humor, usually expressed laconically.
Quite polite and a bit shy, but I enjoy meeting new people. Very friendly and open once the ice is broken.
I have a stoic demeanor. When I'm not drunk, that is.

PHILOSOPHY

To experience is venturing outside our spheres of comfort. To remain inside, a lifetime prison sentence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Thus far I've only acted as a host and I've really enjoyed the experience! It's so cool to meet people who come from all over the world just to get a place to sleep!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted surfers during my stay in Lyon, although I hope to remain active once I return to Norway in late June!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some norwegian, even though it's completely useless on an international level?

I've dabbled in some tarot fortune-telling. Can learn you the basics. I'd like to learn more.

Wow, this list isn't very long, is it?
