I am generally a nice guy. Like to meet people but I am not the most extreme extrovert. Want to learn and experience while I am here on Earth, but quality over quantity.

Have previously stayed a few months in Buddhist monasteries in South Korea and Japan. Still on the path.

Went to a one-year school in Norway learning to sail traditional wooden boats. Also included some traditional handcrafts, organic farming and nature life.

My favourite activity is to hang around in the forest, run around, climb some trees, take a bath in the river.

I also like board games, more or less philosophical conversations, eating good food with good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people!

As a host, it's like travelling without leaving home. Getting to meet interesting people from all over the world. If I've got the time, I like to hang around with my guests.

As a guest: Having deep, meaningful encounters with people who also know the area and the culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sail three weeks along the coast of Norway.

Teach, Learn, Share

Going barefoot is wonderful and healthy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully a good conversation. I wish I could make a super-delicious-elegant meal, but I'm not much of a cook. However, I plan on becoming one someday.

And I am happy to help out with anything in the home like cleaning or whatever is needed.
