CURRENT MISSION

Unleash my imagination and explore

ABOUT ME

Like to explore all that life is interacting with people and places, through a broad diversity of experience. That can be through walking, talking, watching a movie, playing squash, cooking or going out (I prefer quieter places though once in a while a real disco place can be fun).
After moving from home and high school I spent two years with a humanitarian organization. Then I went to Mexico where I stayed one year, lived life and travelled a bit around.
Right now studying Arabic and a Bachelor of Computer Science in Tunisia and trying to understand Arabic culture, Tunisian in particular. I can be a quite outgoing person, but I also like to have my quiet moments and I often prefer to listen when there are large groups of people.

Some quotes that are important for me and tell something about me as a person...

"Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world" (one of my tasks)
- Cervantes
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
- Gandhi

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem; be good to others by being good towards myself. And be good towards myself by being good towards others. Yin/yang and balance in life. I am attracted towards Taoism.

Sharing what I know, my knowledge, my many stories, cooking, what I know about Norway (home) and the world (other home).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing a lot in Mexico and a little bit in Cuba. Also surfed in Norway, Stockholm and Seoul. Excellent experiences! In Tunis an outstanding Couchsurfer community!

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

Jeez, that's a difficult one.. but well, a quite good one springing to mind:
Revising material in the school library before my last exam (Chemistry I think it was), and realizing with a sudden clarity of mind that I was surrounded by tomes of books containing vast amounts of knowledge. And the inexorable feeling of joy at the notion that standing before all this knowledge, I had a humble chance to pursue knowledge in my life.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

Hmmm... I'd really like to share but especially learn about philosophy as that's what I intend to study, primarily. I know some cool Judo tricks, just ask and I'll show you. People seem to adore hearing the weird language that Norwegian is (at least in Latin America, so far removed from that small country), fittingly commented by a friend as "melodious - like you're singing). 72% of birds are promiscuous.
I'd really like to learn Arabic and hear the life stories and experiences of people I meet.
And if you would like to show me some local recipes (and by all means, I want to help in the cooking itself and getting the ingredients) I'll be totally thrilled. My tastebuds even more so.
