ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurer, love the outdoors, the mountains as well as cities. I grew up and still live in the most beautiful and peaceful place, a rural peninsula outside Oslo. I got my first Bachelor in California and Masters and second Bachelor in Oslo, Norway. Most of all I love meeting new people who are willing to have a deep conversation about life and the reality of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for the first time summer 2012 on a backpacking trip through Europe and it turend out being an excellent way of not only experiencing the country but the local culture!

One time I was cutting a backpacking trip short because of some pain in my one knee. A lady at the buss station offered her couch to me for the night. Later that day we got talking and she turned out being a massage therapist and looked at my knee and made it a ton better so I could continue my trip.

Interests

Most of all I enjoy traveling so that I can meet new people and learn new ideas and perspectives. But I also like talking about social justice and human rights, cycling, cooking, ceramics, backpacking, rock climbing, photography.
