Hey! Hei! Ciao! Shalom! Hallo! Ola! Ni hao! Bonjour!

My name is Rad, an expat living in Norway. I am quite a traveler and an explorer. I like learning and seeing for myself different cultures. I love food and trying different cuisines is a must for me, may it be in the streets, restaurants or a local's home. My stomach is literally a melting pot of culture. Pasta, sushi, pizza, kimchi, noodles, steaks, burgers, fishballs, chili crab, satay, crepes, kebab, salads, roasted pig, burritos, tacos and fries. These are few of my favorites. just few! hehe.

Obviously, I enjoy learning new languages. ikke sant? (isn't it in norwegian) I am adventurous and flexible with people. As flexible as my stomach. I am always on the move and always like to be outdoors. Sometimes my home becomes a sleeping bunker. I literally go home for a sleep.

I am a musician but a nurse in profession. When days in Norway become cold and dark, music keeps me going. Music is my medium when I can't express things, when I'm happy, when I'm a bit crazy, when I am lost in translation, when the world seems to be in my shoulder and when love is overflowing. In short, music is a big part of my life. And oohh! Coffee. Just coffee. yeah, coffee!

Music + Coffee = AWESOME!
