A citizen of the world, restless traveller, an always-learner, recently a hitchhiker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to dive under the surface and experience places for real. Know what the locals work with, what they do for leisure, what they eat, what they love about their home.

Interests

Listening to music (preferably live), watching movies, reading mindblowing books, arguing about politics, walking barefoot on the grass, bying a plane ticket and leaving the same day, drawing portraits of people I love, cooking for my friends, riding bike in norwegian wood, learning new words and languages, eating grapes, examine my endurance, walk in the mountains, beeing in places with no internet or telephone, lying on the sand and watching Perceids in august... breathing in cold air of white norwegian nights.
