About Me

Heyho, im a 27 year old Bergen native who likes people, at least most of the time. Still enjoy my own time and company. but i happen to have a spare room in my apartment and maybe someone could get some use out of it.

I am currently studying at KIB (artschool in Bergen) which is a 2 year "pre" artschool. What happens after that only the gods know. Only thing im sure of is that i'd like to focus on something creative of some sort.

I've been lucky enough to be involved in a couple of streetart events around the city these last years so i have some knowledge of the social circles sorrounding that and i'd love to show you around to some of hte various artworks around. I´m currently very buissy with studies and student KulturX, a newly founded student organisation, so my availability regarding couchsurfing might be on wait until further notice.

Either way, say hi, come visit Bergen, it's nice :)

-Mats

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once on a boatride with my dad we saved a drowning sheep closely followed by witnessing a dachshund leap off of a 3 meter ledge trying to get it, again followed by the farmer leaping off to save the dog. Everyone involved were fine :)
