CURRENT MISSION

To make my diary worth keeping

ABOUT ME

In a nutshell:
I am very laid-back indoors person who enjoys books, movies, music, computer games, art, cooking, baking, programming and computer science in general. On the occasions I am outdoors, I enjoy grand architecture and extraordinary natural or human made attractions.
I do have double colored hair (triple if you count a red beard!) but here are some photos of me so you'll be able to recognize me
http://www.facebook.com/RagnarArdal/photos
I think the album is visible to anyone who has a Facebook account.
In addition to all of the above, I would like to mention that I am cleanly and a non-smoker.

PHILOSOPHY

Probably "It'll work out" which is the standard Icelandic philosophy. It is really descriptive of my attitude.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I decided to sign up so I could try to do some couch surfing on my travels in the summer of 2013. Before I departed for Europe this year, I was able to host one surfer. It was a fun experience and I would have loved to host some more but my living arrangements prevented it.
After I get back home from my travels it is highly unlikely that I will be able to host couch surfers because of lack of room. However, that doesn't mean I can't hang out, answer questions, suggest places to see, suggest places to shop for food, or give a tour of the night life. So don't be afraid to hit me up -- I'll be glad to be of help!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. There's a first time for everything and hopefully after this summer I can share my experience with you guys!

Centres d'intérêt

Programming, computers, all sorts of music and music making, being a penny-pincher because I have no money, enjoying art and nature, playing video games, reading books and going to the second hand or thrift store for some sweet deals!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Movies:
I enjoy a lot of movies but I might want to mention The Room because it is one of the few movies which I have watched more than once.

Music:
When it comes to music I listen to almost everything. You might find me listening to anything from Brahms to the Backstreet Boys to Skrillex to Necrophagist - most typically something very melodic and rhythmic. However, if I had to choose one genre it would have to be, albeit an umbrella term, metal.

Books:
I read all kinds of books and living so close to a thrift store really helps feed my lust for literature.
DISCLAIMER
I have read Game of Thrones and I promise not to spoil it unless you really want me to.
