Working as a TV-producer in Norway, which sometimes gives me holidays when others usually go to work. Therefore I often travel abroad on my vacations, mostly by myself. I am a non smoker, and I don't drink alcohol. I appreciate more to work out and to dance salsa and bachata.

2019: Staying in Valencia for 4 weeks in October to learn Spanish and dance salsa. Estoy en Valencia por 4 semanas en octubre para aprender español y bailar salsa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Years ago, I crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a 34' sailing boat. My work sometimes bring me to amazing places and people, like the indigenous in the Amazons, Vanuatu, Indonesia, Ethiopia and Namibia, or the shepherd people in the Gobi dessert, Mongolia. My holiday fee brings me to other places.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to get around the world in a sailing boat, I am sometimes trying to improve on my piano skills and I play guitar. I started up dancing salsa some years ago, and it has become a passion. And if anyone wants to learn Norwegian, I can give a hand for sure...
