Overview
About Me
EDIT 2016
I guess I should edit this part more often - I have avoided doing it for almost 6 years now. Then again - I have mostly hosted during my time in Trondheim, but since now I am back on the road - a quick insight for the inquiring:
I am constantly on the run, torn between doing activism of many kinds and travelling random places to overcome my fear of routine.
Been a chef in Trondheim, a painter in Stokke, an English teacher in Warsaw, a paver in Germany, a maitre'd table on Tenerife and most recently a night receptionist on Iceland. At the moment I am working part time on the whale watching ships and I think it's my so far favorite.
A vegetarian (turning vegan), freegan and low-cost traveler, but don't relate much to labels.
Right now travelling, but plan to eventually settle-down on a small sustainable, self-providing farm.
And here is the part from 2009 for your taxidermical high school pleasure:
PHILOSOPHY
Share everything. Everything! (should be pronounced this way - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyfbRz4ObFY).
Get to know people and always leave them full with new experiences and things to think about. Don't hesitate to tell the truth, for we do not owe anythig else. Amen
Interests
I love learning new languages (currently mastering my Norwegian), hosting picnics, dancing, telling absurd jokes, cooking (but only for others), ice-bathing with friends, training acrobatics and the process of taking off to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Have co-organised the biggest protest on the University of Warsaw in 30 years. Or so they say.
or, as my 19-years-old-self said:
That was my mother's face when I told her I'm going on a trip around Europe hitch - hiking. Priceless.
Guess I progressed a bit.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to sing totally out of tune, make a brilliant parsley-pear soup, play some simple guitar, learn spanish in 2 weeks, do handstands, headstands and cartwheels, and how to laugh about everyday problems.
