Overview
About Me
I have lived in Australia my entire life, while slowly trying to visit as many cities around the world as possible.
I work as an Account Manager for a Software Company in Sydney, and hope to start my own company in the coming years.
People tend to say that I am very friendly, and I am always trying to make the people around my laugh, even if it is at my own expense.
I'm fairly tall (195cm), and my father is originally from Bergen, Norway. I have watched and played sport at a high and competitive level my entire life. I know a little bit of french as i studied it in school, and hope to learn more while i travel.
I am going to be watching the 2016 Euro Football tournament in France
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am travelling around Europe between June - October in 2016, and believe that the best way to learn and understand new cultures is through meeting and staying with people in each city.
I'm not just looking for a place to stay. I like to enjoy what my hosts enjoy and definitely get to know them well rather than just be in and out.
My goal is to couch surf at least once in each city I visit and hopefully teach the people I visit about Australian culture, while also learning about theirs :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This is going to be very random, but when I was in primary school (11 years old) I sung the Australian national anthem to the Prince of Monaco during the 2000 Sydney Olympic games.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you all the slang (short) words that Australians use, while hopefully passing across some information about our culture.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My thoughts, knowledge and culture transfer....and hopefully some Football banter
I can also almost guarantee that I will make you laugh while I stay, making people laugh is what I am all about!
P.s - Since I'm 195cm tall, I can easily change all the light bulbs in your house
