About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always liked to travel, but I don't get to do nearly enough of it anymore. One of the things I used to like most about travelling was meeting up with new interesting people with different backgrounds than myself. The perspectives and good memories gained from all these characters has been very valuable for me in life.

With couchsurfing I hope to meet up with or host more people like all those interesting adventurers I used to meet before, but from a new angle - my home.

I also think Coachsurfing is a most exellent way to make this beautiful Norwegian landscape more accessable to see and appreciate for travellers on a limited budget, just by taking money out of the equation. Exellent!! Especially in countries where the price levels are as high as here.
Whoever originally had the brainfart who created the CS consept and then put it into practice clearly deserves a first prize of something and maybe even a collective giant hug from humanity hehe :)
Most Norwegians are nice people, but spending time only in the company of people with more or less the same background as myself only serves to comfirm what I already have seen before. By meeting people thru CS from all over the world with different cultures and background will likely give new priceless perspectives on life along with new friendships and many happy memories.

Interests

My main interests mostly revolves around my many pets, friends and family.

On the other hand there are few things that doesn't hold some level of fascination if only as an observer.
