CURRENT MISSION

To cook an 8 course meal

ABOUT ME

Finished university - just, while balancing a bunch of other things such as 3 jobs and 3 self funded trips overseas. Also studied by correspondence at one point while working as a ski instructor, highly recommend it as I had a great time.
So finished university, got a proper job. Got bored after 11 months and started cycling from Thailand with the objective of making it to Europe. You can only cycle so much before you get sick of it, and when I finally got sick of it after 4 months. I flew out from Central China to Norway to spend some time hanging out with a friend.
Landed a job here, and been loving Norway ever since. Saving my pennies so that I can do a few more trips in 2011.

PHILOSOPHY

To be totally accountable for your actions, and the impact that you have on the world around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing, but like the idea of it. My home was and is always open to everyone, and there is always a warm meal and couch to sleep on for the night, with no judgements. Couch surfing is just a way of expanding that offer to others who I have not yet met in person.
I have been the receipient of great acts of kindness and generosity while travelling, and I hope to repay that kindness in some way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have had a few people to stay and have really enjoyed the experience so far. I have also stayed with many people while travelling. It never ceases to amaze me how generous people are, and it is always nice to return that generosity.
