About Me

I am 25 years old. Originaly from a beautiful little place in the countryside of Norway two hours north from Oslo, but I have lived in Oslo for 6 years now. Most of my friends would describe me as an friendly, outgoing and polite guy. I have just finished my first year on university to become a Interaction Designer. I enjoy graphic novels, computergames, walks around the city and discussing technology, trends and politics with my friends. For the last couple of years I have been working with mental and physical disabled people, something I have found very inspiring. I also work part-time in an art gallery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most beautiful memories must be from the year I served in the Norwegian coast guard. I served around the Island group called Svalbard. Its the most northern habitated place, and is located on a latitute of 80 degrees. I saw a lot of polarbears and great nature.

I also partisipated in something called "Tall Ships Races" in the baltic seas with Norways biggest sailing vessel called Staatsraad Lehmkuhl. It lasted for three weeks and we actually won the whole competition. Really unbelivable journey and I got to know a lot of amazing people and places!
