About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to infinity and beyond!

ABOUT ME

I have been a scout for half my life, outdoor type with a sidedish of nerdy and lots of bacon.

PHILOSOPHY

"It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory." -Bruce Lee

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I help guests discover and learn about the hidden treasures of the Icelandic outdoors and the awesomeness of Icelanders. I spemt five months roaming in Europe, looking for friendly people on the way, next trip unplanned.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and assisted other hosts with activities, met wonderful people that way. And I have surfed for almost 5 months in Europe. The greatest moment was after a great day of sightseeing back home with 4 Russian surfers. There was a feast to celebrate one of them's birthday and the birthday girl got a proposal for desert.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most.
For music and movies it depends on my mood mostly, but I do enjoy reaching new music.

When it comes to books I prefer fantasy novels. I have gone through plenty of the Eberron novels, handful of the old Sagas, Patrick Rothfuss and I've just started on Discworld

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the band Europe play at the closing ceremony of the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden 2011.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Prince Polo is the island's most popular chocolate bar, eaten by everyone addictively and in such quantity that it's been said that only the sweet tooth of Iceland keeps the Prince Polo factory in Lodz, Poland, from being replaced by a tractor parts factory." -Lawrence Millman

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and good company for starters.
