About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Working with business development and startups.

ABOUT ME
I am adventurous and playful, and prefer some action. However, I also enjoy a relaxing day to process the impressions from my journey every now and then.

I enjoy spending time outdoors, although I tend to escape from the rain. When I'm in a city, I like to walk around to see the sights or to discover the "hidden treasures" of a city. Trekking in the mountains is one of my favourites. I love the sea and don't mind spending some time at the beach or on a boat trip. If I can catch a fish too, I'm happy! In the winter I like to go skiing in Norway or in the Alps. Rock climbing is something I am quite new to, but that I really like doing!

PHILOSOPHY
"It is better to regret something you did than to regret something you did not do."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been a member for a while but haven't offered or used couchsurfing yet... Area for improvement!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am all new to Coachsurfing, and am looking forward to be the honored guest of welcoming souls around the world.

Interests

Back home I will use the hours after work to be with my friends, take my dog for a walk or play with her, or relax with a movie. In the winter I like to go skiing and in the summer you'll find me close to the sea if weather allows (Norway is often quite cold and rainy...). I also enjoy other outdoor activities like trekking, canoeing and camping.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music, books and movies is quite varied, and often depends on the setting and my mood. To name a few, I enjoy reading Jussi Adler's books, I liked to watch Jason Bourne, and a couple of my favourite songs at the moment are Pearl Jam's "Daughter", "Crave" by Pharrell Williams, and Kensington's "Bridges".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in the Red Sea was an amazing experience. The beautiful flora and fauna impressed me a lot, and seeing a Guitar Shark and following a glorious Spotted Eagle Ray while diving there was fantastic!

Bagan in Myanmar was the most spectacular temple area I have ever seen, and watching the sunset from the temples there filled me with peace and astonishment.

I once went on a trip where we climbed a mountain during winter, built our own cave in the snow where we stayed at night, before skiing back down the day after. It was a cold but fantastic experience that I hope to repeat someday.
