About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay clear of hotels - there are better ways to travel through the world

ABOUT ME

Short bio:
I'm half french and half Norwegian. Been living in France, Norway, and the US.

I used to be a fulltime music student and performer, but I've now traded that life for being a tech entrepreneur and developing my own start-ups.

My current company is developing products and services for the cinema industry. I love the movie industry and spend a lot of time in LA and Hollywood.

In my free time I love the outdoors, I go sailing a lot and I love to go on long hikes. When I have time I go do wintersports (snowboarding and cross country skiing.

I also try to meditate every day, and go on a silent retreat at least once per year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't used CS a lot, but the few times I have, have all been great experiences, and I believe that has been mutual.
