ABOUT ME

I am an easy going person who is interrested in meeting people. I allways enjoy talking to people that i dont know. That may be the reason i like traveling alot, because I allways meet interresting people when I travel.

So far I have enjoyed doing voluntary work in the countries I have travled, because I like doing something good AND because it's a great way of meeting new people, especially locals. When you meet the same people every day, you get a chance to get behind their facade. This gives a new substance to traveling, through new freindships.

Here is my blog if you want to see my work: http://mortenjess.wordpress.com/

PHILOSOPHY

Well, i just saw 630.000 chinese signs carved into stone in a Confucius tempel in Beijing. I think pretty much everything has been said on the subject of philosophy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will try to use and develop the network by participating. I like the project and want to be a part of an organism of "good-will" that expands all over the world. So I'm gonna participate by surfing and by hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hicthiked around Denmark, Germany and Sweeden this summer, using my very good friends CS profile. I had some great experiences and was truly amased by the trust people showed us. I liked it alot, so now i want to try it out using my own profile.

Interests

I like photography and editing pictures. I spend a lot of my time doing this. I have no ambition of becomming a professionel photograper because I want to do humanitarian work. But the photography is a way of communicating complex third world problems, to everyday people in the western world.

I also like to cook. Somehow i find an ease in chopping up vegetables, making a sauce or frying a beef. And of cause, I realy like to eat it as well.

Besides im interrested in movies, music and books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hepling to save lives in Sierra Leone, by securing delivery of medicin to a free treatment hospital. It was a unique experience for me that is is acctuly possible to help other people if you just do your best. It is within our reach to change the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of things about third world problems, and how to deal with them. I like to share my NGO experience, with other couch surfers.

I would like to learn how other people see the world. i think it is interresting that two people can see the same thing have the same ideer about what happend. I would like to be challenged in my world view.
