Hey there CS-world!
My name is Alexander Sjursæther and I live right outside Stavanger in a city called Sandnes. Its not more than 15 minutes away with train and I live 2 minutes from train/busstation.

Im 24 and currently on the last year studying political science.

I lived in Norway pretty much all my life except two years spent in Orlando, Florida working for Disney. I currently work part time at the powercompany in my region.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This pretty much took off because of my sister, Anka, who loves to travel (writing this she's in Australia for a year) introduced me to it. She came home from a 3 months trip throughout Europe in 2014, I was picking her up a 2 hour drive away in my small and 30 year old car. Suddenly we were 5 people in the car, that was the night I hosted my first couchsurfers, it was a great experience. After getting my own apartment in 2015 Ive hosted a few people (right now 3 people sleeping in my living room).

Im happy that my awesome sister gets so much help from the CS Community when shes travelling, so I decided to start sharing my apartment too and meet nice people from all over the world.

I hope that the times when I need a host Ill be able to find it here as well...

Interests

I dont think I have too much interests, I engaged early in politics and those issues. Ive been a meeting member of the city council for some time, but now I focus mostly on school and work.

I love theme parks, and especially Disney. I worked in the local park, Kongeparken for like 8 years as well... So my apartment is full of Disney stuff.
