Jeg er en entusiast innen maskinlæring og AI med en lidenskap for fitness og utendørsaktiviteter. På fritiden liker jeg å spille piano, drive med CrossFit og utforske ulike sporter som kunstløp, fekting og snowboard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new people and exchange thoughts on classic books, cultures, history, and life. Living in Norway now, I also want to practice Norwegian and German with native speakers.

Interests

• Piano: Enjoy playing and exploring various music genres.
• Travel: Love experiencing new cultures and cuisines.
• Languages: Passionate about learning languages; I speak nine, focusing now on improving Norwegian (Norsk) and German (Tysk).
• AI: Fascinated by artificial intelligence.

Books: Math, languages, self-improvement, Lord of the Rings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After moving to a new country, I embarked on the adventure of learning a new language from scratch and adapting to a culture as different from American or Asian cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, Learn, Share:

I spent most of my youth in an academically rich environment. Professionally, I am passionate about Machine Learning and AI.

Teach:

• Machine Learning and AI: I can share my knowledge and expertise in these fields.
• Piano: I enjoy playing and can teach beginners.

Learn:

• Norwegian Culture and Language: Eager to improve my Norsk and understand local traditions better.
• Sports: Open to learning more about cross-country skiing and other local activities.

Share:

• Fitness: I’ve been into CrossFit for three years and enjoy discussing fitness/ Macro meal-prep.
• Outdoor Activities: I love figure-skating, fencing, snowboarding, and exploring new sports.
• Hobbies: Sharing experiences about playing the piano and staying active in various sports.

I love engaging in diverse activities and am excited to exchange knowledge and experiences with others!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural Exchange:
I am delighted to share my culture, having had the privilege of living on three continents. As a connoisseur of French cuisine and Asian fusion, I’ve savored dishes from over 35 countries and am excited to exchange cooking tips and global cuisine ideas.

Intellectual Conversations:
During my time in Boston/Cambridge, I indulged in spirited discussions about math, algorithms, programming, ML, AI, and neuroscience with my geeky friends. I sometimes miss the deep dives into philosophy, literature, history, and science. Talking with experts in their fields was always enjoyable, as it felt like piecing together a puzzle in my mind palace.

New Interests:
After this European trip, away from the academic heavyweights, I developed an interest in human interactions, emotions, micro-expressions, and lie detection.

Outdoor Activities:
I enjoy my Norwegian life, speaking Norsk and hiking, although I have yet to experience forest adventures and camping. I would love to try these activities with locals.
