About Me

I have a job which allows me to travel a lot. And I really enjoy to meet and socialise with new exciting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling and living in hotels, but my experience is that the vacation will be considerably more interesting if I know some local people where I am. With couchsurfing I am sure it will be a whole new way of visiting/be on vacation somewhere, which I can only think positively about.
As I enjoy socializing with new and interesting people I think this way of traveling will suit me perfectly.

Interests

My main hobby and passion is paragliding, and I want to do this wherever it is good to do in the world.
Other hobbies of mine is; photography, diving, skiing, motorbiking, partying

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of different music, and it all depends on which mood I am in or wants to get into.

Regarding movies I prefer the ones with some depth I them, but I at times I also watch all other genres.

Lately I have focused on books that I can benefit personally from, such as self help books, books about the mind/thinking, self biographies, and good stories from people's expeditions or other adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once did a bungee jump down a narrow 150 meter deep gorge. This made me feel scared almost to death, but since my three little sisters had done it before me without hesitation. I really did not have any choice but to go through with it. The sensation when I could feel the bungee chord pull tight, and the adrenaline pumping all through my body is really not possible to describe as anything other than amazing. (and also the fact that I realized that I would survive)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and share facts about Norway, including the culture, history, local differences in people.
I want to learn about the places I visit from a locals perspective.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a good mood, generally useless but entertaining stories, some fun facts from the places I have visited.
