I am a 35 years old guy. I am an artist and designer by trade. I have lived mostly in Reykjavik and Rotterdam. Recently I have been living and working in the Icelandic country side. I am about to go travel now for a bit and would like to do so on a budget. I want to get to know some cultures better and love to stay with locals to immerse better in the culture and get to know the place better. My main interests are culture, art, music, design, architecture and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, i also love to meet new people. I believe in good Karma and hosting people is a great place to start. :) Iceland is getting alot of travelers recently and its making it a more interesting place for me since its a very small country. Meeting new people and telling them about my country and giving them a good experience from Iceland is a great joy for me. I know lots of good restaurants and history. Also I love to travel by myself and see the world and its just so great to belong to a network such as CS and be able to meet people instantly and even stay with them all around the world.
