About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to help others, the same way I have been helped before, on my travels worldwide.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going person, with lots of interests and things on my mind. I work at a mental hospital, write books and I used to be a pastor in an evangelical church in Oslo, Norway.

Now I work in Christan Television, and I make short movies. I look forward to having good conversations about culture, movies, life and all.

I love to meet people from all over the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Indonesia right after the flood in 2008. That was crazy. I was in Moscow in 2002, and drove the Underground. I was also in Santiago de Chile in 2008. That was impressive. Having lunch with president Laurent Gbagbo at his resident in Côte d'Ivoire was also amazing. Being surprised by a presidential visit from the president of Latvia back in the early 1990s (Gorbunovs) at my friend´s house was epic. Life is good.
