I spend my time playing guitar in a band that plays in weddings etc. Previously I also played guitar in more experimental rock music and progressive metal band. In free time I a€™m also taking pictures with my camera and I want to move in professional direction with photography. Mostly i think it is very interesting to take pictures of abandoned places like€“ factories, abandoned buildings and nature. I am active person, I like to spend my time in nature, go hiking, camping, also running, cycling, in winter it is more gym and alpine skiing. Mountains is my passion.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to enjoy life as much as it is possible, by expressing myself with music and photography, and also by travelling, by visiting lots of interesting places and meeting interesting people. My goal is not the cities, but nature, mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new and interesting people and have new friends, to explore other countries and people from different viewpoint. To find places in nature, possibly go hiking together etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am interested in different styles of music, from metal and rock to jazz, blues or electronic music. Usually in music I am looking for something unique. I hate most of hits that nowadays are popular, because I think they are made just because of money, it is not music. Maybe the most popular musical style I am into now is progressive metal/djent - bands like periphery, vildhjarta, tesseract, disperse, humanitys last breath, kadinja etc. There is a lot of them. About movies. There is a lot of movies I like and I cant name one special. I like documental movies, comedies, little from horror and drama movies. I think that the best ones are those who makes me think even after I have stopped watching them. I am not so much interested in books, because I don't have so much time to read them, but lately I have picked up one book in Norwegian - this is good way to learn language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on a long distance hike alone in Norway. Also I left my office job to go work in a skiing resort in Norway and it was really nice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar, I know a lot of good and interesting music. And I want to explore new and interesting music. I can share my experience in music or guitar playing. I would also like to maybe get some contacts with musicians in other countries. I can also share my knowledge in photography and get in contact with other photographers or videographers. I can also do a lot in Microsoft Excel.
