ABOUT ME:
I'm a fun, liberal and happy guy. I recently finished my masters in political science and are currently working as a bureaucrat in the norwegian welfare and labor administration. It's not as dry as it sounds ;-) I love to go hiking and skiing and all kind of outdoorsy stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ascending the third highest peak in Africa- Mt. Stanley- in thick fog and mist, after trekking for 5 days through mud and wetlands, passing two glaciers and slippery rocks before making it. Felt happy & dizzy in thin air at the top!

I discovered the real beauty of the mountain when it all opened up on the way down and exposed amazing views over the sharp, edgy summits around the main peak.

Loved the the changing landscapes ranging from green rainforest to the snowy summit.
