About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take care of business

ABOUT ME

I live in Oslo city in an apartment in the Downtown area of town, close to the train station and buses (10 min walk). I live alone.

Just returned to Oslo after 5 years adventuring in the Americas and Asia.

I have a few close friends and a lot of aquanitances. I have a large and loving family.

I have no strong convictions about anything. I try to handle the challenges life throws at me.

I like spontaneous and courageous people, I like to be challenged, and I like to learn new stuff all the time. Life is too short to drink bad coffee.

I'm in love with traveling and adventuring.

When I grow up I will be an airport.

PHILOSOPHY

what goes around, comes around.

Teach, Learn, Share

A college dropout with my feet in many camps. Life has taught me some lessons I'm willing to discuss over a glass of red wine and a shisha. I am a follower of the Tao philosophy. What goes around comes around. Live and let live. I cannot play one single instrument, but I love music. By chance and wu wei I've attained a lot of my life goals, and I look much younger than my real age. I'll let you know how if I ever meet you.

I've had my fair shares of ups and downs in life, leaving me none the wiser but more experienced.
