I'm a full time blacksmith, a hobby photographer, a scout and scout leader and have been practising martial arts (mainly Karate) since the age of six.

Pre-blacksmithing I have a background in Media and Communications, was an exchange student in Japan and went Officer School in the Norwegian Army. Now most of my time goes to the business, but I try to go dancing (mostly rock step swing) at least once a week. Every now and again I brew some beer and often bake my own bread.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
