CURRENT MISSION
Currently back home in Norway. For now.

ABOUT US

PHILOSOPHY
We're all here to learn something that is uniquely for us.
Why is so much more interesting than what and how.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW WE PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
You're welcome to try out our couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have had some people staying on our couch, all positive experiences. Challenging to find enough time sometimes, but always worth the effort! As someone said: having strangers leaving as friends is awesome.

Interests

People, food. We wonder if anthropology underrated..

Music, Movies, and Books

Herbert: Kravitz meets Bach. My bible, and books like Bob Goff's Love does.

Maria: Movies? Romantic comedies are favorite. Music: preferably gospel, but I can listen to just about everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We were on board Operation Mobilisation's Logos 2 ship which sailed the Caribbean in 2008 and lived with truly amazing people for six months. In 2013 we lived in Hawai'i for a few months and in the beginning of 2014 we spent some months on the wonderful island of Angaur, Palau.
Fall 2015 we moved to live on the beautiful island of Hawai'i again, and we go back there every year for a few months to work with YWAM.

We are currently back home in Norway for a while, embracing life and people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Herbert: I know a bit about the web and programming. I love the simplicity of the Citroën 2CV. Low tech is awesome.
Maria: I can teach you how to play the ukulele.

We make pretty good scrambles eggs and love time together around food.
