ABOUT ME

Back in Oslo!

I'm a huge language buff, and I sorely wished life was long enough to learn all the 6.000 (approx.) languages spoken in the world. Unfortunately as it's an immensely time consuming process you have to choose just a few. But that doesn't mean you can't learn a little bit here and there when you go traveling (or host people). In my opinion nothing adds more to the travel experience than being able to speak a bit of the local language! So no matter how obscure your mother tongue is, please teach me some :)

PHILOSOPHY

To have fun, learn and explore!

And most importantly: "Do unto others what you want them to do to you"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing. Isn't that what it's all about? :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences hosting in both Norway and Japan, and also surfing various couches in Europe and Asia. Thanks everybody!

And it's almost strange, but I have yet to have a bad experience with CS! :D All encounters I've had has turned into friendships, pure good times, sweet hangovers or at the very least an interesting culture exchange! Thanks again!
