About Me

I'm a 28 year old Norwegian engineer and entrepreneur. From 2011-2017 I studied nanotechnology for four years, and entrepreneurship for 2 years. The last year I've been in the military getting some rare and valuable experiences and memories.

My life has turned into a mission to take actions to improve the world, our society, our cultures, our nature, and all conscious beings. We've come quite far as a species in many aspects, but in some other important ones, we're still like children. We must solve these issues we're going to thrive in the centuries to come. So now I'm moving tot Stockholm to take part in a company-building, incubator, VC-fund program, where I get the opportunity to meet talented individuals from all over Europe and build companies together with them. It's going to be an adventure.

I'm passionate about science, reason, technology, progress, philosophy, ethics and morale. As well as a keen interesting in how this world works in various aspects, from spacetime to neurobiology and psychology. I'm also addicted to getting my pulse high quite frequently, and loose some drops of sweat. I usually achieve that by running for a long time in the forest, climbing, doing yoga or lifting something heavy.

The first review I got on Couchsurfing is my favorite one, but the person I was staying with had to delete his profile for some reason. So I'll add it here:
(He's name was Doël. He had origins from Australia, and lived in Mountain View, California, working as an Uber driver)

START REVIEW:
The best way to describe Torstein is he is a Viking Ninja entrepreneur who can see in the dark like a boss.

But seriously, I had such a pleasure hosting Torstein. Torstein was the best coach surfer guest! He was respectful of the space, he played well with others, and he cleaned up after himself!

I really enjoyed my blunt conversations with Torstein. He was never afraid to say what was on his mind! And beyond that, he such a great wit. Torstein never afraid to make a joke at someone's expense!

I would absolutely host Torstein again! I look forward to seeing him in Norway in the future.
END REVIEW.
