Norwegian guy raised in Oslo, Norway.

My childhood dream is to go to Antarctica to play with the penguins.

I like to do things that make for a good story and takes me outside my comfort area. The more random, the better :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had some great experiences through couchsurfing, all though it's been a little while since I was active. It's a lot more giving getting to know local people and places than to follow a guide book. Sharing is caring, or as the Norwegian saying goes: "Der det er hjerterom, er det husrom" (approx. translation = If there is space in the heart, there is space in the home")

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed a week at director Ingmar Bergman's guest house in Fårö, Sweden. I swam in his pool, checked out his library and he took us to his private cinema on the island and showed us short films.

I went to the Sochi Olympics 2014 with media accreditation to commentate curling for Norwegian television.
I also commentated at the 2018 Olympic Games for Olympic Broadcasting Services, being the only non-native speaker to commentate in English for OBS and the whole world :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you got ice, I can teach you curling.
I'll give it my best go at learning you some Norwegian.
I like to cook, maybe teach some Norwegian dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food, good drinks, good laughs. What more do you need? :)
