ABOUT ME

"to learn and then put it in practice - isn't that a delight?
To have friends come from afar - isn't that a joy?"
Kong Fuzi

PHILOSOPHY

I think real human flourishing is possible when people build community and develop empowering forms of life together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently as a guest only. I look forward to hosting again when I have my own place to share.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Extremely positive!

In Oslo we had the pleasure of hosting guests from Canada, Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium. It's also been nice to hear from people who just want to share a coffee and enjoy wandering around the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
