About Me

I'm a 32 year old guy living in Oslo where I work as a medical doctor in a general practice. I've lived in Denmark for the last 10 years of my life and just recently moved back to Oslo, which is where I grew up. So I enjoy re-discovering my birth city which has changed a lot over the last years! In my spare time I hang out with my friends and I do lots of yoga. I'm a bit of a foodie and love to cook whenever I have time.
I also love to travel, meet new people and learn about their culture. I think a stranger is just a friend I haven’t met yet!

I’m a pretty easy going guy when it comes to hosting surfers. Due to work and yoga I tend to be a little busy in weekdays and I might not have lots of time to show you around. I do have plenty of tips on what to do and see in Oslo, and I love to cook at home and share a glass of wine with my guests.

If you have questions about stuff outside of Oslo, i.e. northern lights, I’m probably not the right guy to ask. Better to find someone living a bit further up north😉

Here are my top 10 recommandations in Oslo:
1) Vigeland sculpture park (right next to my place)
2) A walk on the opera house roof
3) Vippa food court
4) Himkok cocktail bar
5) SALT sauna by the harbor
6) The national gallery (free on Thursdays)
7) Munch museum and Nobel peace prize museum
8) Walking along the Aker river (Akerselva) and the Grünerløkka area in general
9) Island hopping in the Oslo fjord
10) Blå nightclub
