Overview
About Me
- Enjoy creating things, as well as helping others to create.
- Been jack of a few trades, including journalism, computers and kinder garden teacher. Currently studying to become a priest in the Lutheran church of Norway.
- I'm a christian. I believe in peace, love and friendships. And God obviously.
- I'd like to become a pastor to raise up people that struggle and to tell others about God (I'm not confident nor cheeky enough however to preach to people who don't want it).
- Others has described me as thoughtful, humorous and a good conversation partner.
- People fascinate me more and more. I consider it a great gift to be human and to be able to study my own and other's thoughts, emotions and existence.
- One of my main concerns is that people of all beliefs need to bond, cooperate and share in creating a better world for all human beings. I have many good friends with religious and/or sexual orientation different from my own.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- Driving through the humongous Nevada desertscapes. It was an awesome experience in the old-fashioned sense of the word. I felt amazed and humbled at the same time.
Teach, Learn, Share
Surfers have given me a lot. I've been motivated and I've motivated. I've expanded my horizon and heard that I've expanded other's horizon.
I'm interested in learning cooking recipes, yoga, new words, new perspectives, tai chi and everything else fun.
