About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find balance

ABOUT ME

Yoga keeps me strong and focused. Healthy food keeps me calm and balanced. Kids brings beauty and reality to my life. In tango I can live my passion. Im a scorpion.

I'm 32 and from Oslo. Happy and calm. I love to get a new perspective into my life and good conversations. I can take you around in Oslo and show you some tourist things or just have a coffee or take a trip outside Oslos to the beautiful nature we have here.

I'm vegan (no food from animals) and I don't drink. Both are related to my yoga practice. One of the rules yogis try to practice is to live a non-harming life, that's why so many yogis are vegetarian. And by doing yoga I feel very well how alchohol affects my brain and energy in a bad way, so I just had to stop:) A good friend of mine just introduced me to raw food (food made without heating any of the ingredients). I have never ate something that felt so right! So I want to learn this way of cooking.

I try to live a balance life; I read a story once about happiness and it was described as when you carry a spoon filled with water and still be able to see the beauty around you. I belive in that, you need inner peace so you can carry that spoon gently and be able to participate in the outer world.

PHILOSOPHY

What you see around you is a picture of you inner thoughts. So a beautiful mind will see a beautiful world:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will not travel so much in the future. I've started loving being home. So I prefer to host people, get to know them and make their stay in Oslo as nice as possible. And I want to learn about the people that visit me. If I don't have time for you I will not say yes to your couch request.

I'm also up for a coffee or maybe a bike ride on the amazing city bikes we have in Oslo:)

TANGO! Anyone who wants to take me to dance! I love the dance, but I need to practice!

See you soon?

I got so many nice messages from people that just want to say Hi and be good to me and likes my profile. Thanks! A part of me want's to answer and start to get to know all these interesting people, the other part of me, that wins, want to use couch surfing mainly to meet people live. After seven years with computer programming I've decided that my new life is outside the computers. Sorry, that I wont answer anything else that couch requests or request for live meetings.

Interests

I love tango! Yoga, vipassana meditation, books, people, cultures, climbing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just read the most beautiful book: Let me sing you gentle songs. And I read "The enemy of the people" by Ibsen. I did not expect to like it that much. But I did. A very dynamic book. And very up to date.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a lot of places and people, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Europe, Malaysia, but the true beauty is when you see people being increadible nice in the most unexpected situations. Kids are a lot like that, so I love being with them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a yogateacher. I do like rock climbing. And I can help you learn norwegian.
