Hi!
Things to know about me:
- I play drums, in different kind of musicals styles, ranging from jazz, different ethnic music, rock and beyond.
- Do A LOT of rock climbing!
- I'm a vegan, which means i don't eat any animal products.
- I'm interested in different cultures from around the world.
- I don't smoke cigarettes.
- I drink alcohol, but not in huge amounts.

- I love to learn new things, either if it is art, music, sports, handy-work, construction or anything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me looks and sounds like a great opportunity to meet people. As described, i'm interested in learning about different cultures and customs in the countries i'm visiting. I also think that couchsurfing is a good way of challenging myself socially. I'm also fund of improvising, and situations that appear when you couch surf are often in need of some improvising.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I travelled by train from Norway to Morocco and back, to learn about gnawa music. That was a life changing journey :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach playing the drum set, as well as basic music theory. I can also teach about jazz history, and different music history subjects. I want to learn about different ethnic music genres, and different cultures in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot about Norwegian culture, which is a really weird and special culture. I will bring pictures and different Norwegian specialities if I have the possibility. I also want to share and learn everything I know about rock climbing, music and other stuff.
