About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I want to see as much as I can, experience as many different citites, landscapes, and locations. Try all the food, learn about new cultures, meet people, and generally just hang out and make the most of life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else." Joseph Campbell

I want to live my life now, and I want a job and a life that makes me happy. I hate the idea that we must work hard now for a far away happiness which may never come. I say, if it makes you happy, and if you want to do, then do it!
.. Or maybe I think this because I want to be an archaeologist!

Music can vary widely, I enjoy most fantasy, fictional, and crime novels, and love watching either great fantasy movies (eg stardust), classic horror films, and indie films

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked with the Nytt Osebergskipet in Norway, where we are building a full scale reconstruction of the Osberg Ship, a Viking Ship found in Tonsberg, Norway in 1904.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im an archaeology and boat nerd. I worked as a boat builder and as a maritime archaeologist, so I love being near historic waterfronts and boats.

I also love cooking, baking, and eating new food combinations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

(hopefully) interesting stories, good company, and I am pretty easy going, and up for pretty much anything. If that means a quiet night or an adventure. And where i love travelling with new people ive met, I can also go about independently if my host is busy :).
