A music enthusiast born and raised (mostly) in Norway. However I am also American.

If I'm not busy working a tour, I spend all my money and freetime following bands on tour. Although I have little musical talent, I have a passion for music. Current "daytime" job is music journalist, which is great because I enjoy interviewing and chatting to musicians, and I also enjoy writing.

In addition to music, other forms of art are a huge passion of mine. I went to photography school during my high school years and I also enjoy painting. I could spend hours talking about art.

I love to travel, and I love to meet new people. Learning about languages, culture, cuisine and people all over the world is the best part. I enjoy good a good conversation and building friendships that can last a lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and learning everything there is to learn about a new country or city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into older punk and rock like The Smashing Pumpkins, Black Flag and The Beatles. Queen, Nirvana, Jawbreaker - you name it! However, some of my favorite newer bands are Against Me!, Axis Of, The Used, Frnkiero andthe Cellabration, Moose Blood, Sun & Flesh, This Good Robot, Science and so on. Favorite singer/songwriters are The Homeless Gospel Choir and Matt Olsson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got a one-way ticket to Germany all alone with no other plan than to follow my favorite band on tour. I saw them in concert twelve times, in nine different countries through Europe. This was my first time following a band on tour and it has truly been nothing short of an adventure since then.
