On vacation from mid-July to mid-August, so I won't be able to host anyone during that time period.

Originally from La-la land, been living in Europe the last 20+ years. I'm both intense and laid back, I love music, travel, food, good conversation, learning about other cultures and traditions. Craft beer. Training/working out. Been doing Chinese kung-fu for years, really enjoy the combination of physical activity and flow with mindfulness and meditation. Surfing, which is actually pretty good here on the west coast of Norway. It's not Hawai'i, but then what is?

I run a small boutique music studio, as well as work as a business consultant doing organizational and leadership development, focusing on culture, communication, entrepreneurship and more.

As a person I don't take a lot of space and don't leave a mess. I learned as a kid to leave a place looking better than when you came.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

In order to meet people. I've lived many places and find that travel and meeting new people brings us all closer together, reduces fear and hate, and makes the world a better place. Win-win for everyone. I really enjoy hearing people's stories and perspective on life, history and current events.

I'm new here so don't have a lot of references yet, but am really looking forward to the CS experience!
