Open-minded, independent, and laid-back guy from Norway. Big believer in giving people a real chance — always happy to meet someone new :) My quest is to travel and see more of the world, to get to know myself better, and also make friends along the way!

🇲🇰 in 🇸🇯 I moved to Norway in August 2023. Want to meet travellers from Planet Earth (its ok if you are from another planet too). Beer person, especially I love IPL beer 😆 My wish for 2026 is to do the Camino.

I aim to empower youth to create measurable impact. Sustainability is an important part of my life especially sustainable development goal 17 - partnerships for the goals. I think that by gaining a better understanding of each other the world will be a more peaceful and better place.

Hi there! Please note that I do NOT have a smartphone/iPhone. I am not on social media and any reference to such channels is a waste of time as I will not read any of it anyway. For various reasons I am currently Not Accepting guests. LAST Minute and obvious SPRAY REQUESTS are NO GO, and I will most likely not reply to any of them. My name is NOT Ladigue and I DON'T live in Oslo. The beeline from my place in Sandvika to Oslo city center is about 20 km. I am sorry for this "shouting", but I am so tired of all the requests where it's obvious that people have not read my profile properly. My philosophy: Carpe Diem, live for the moment and fill every minute of my life without thinking about tomorrow. Hakuna matata! PLEASE READ my Couch Information CAREFULLY before sending requests. I kindly urge all new Couch Surfers to put some effort into their profile, as well as the request itself, especially when they have no or only a few references. And get your profile verified!! I do not accept friends requests from people I have not met or hosted. PLEASE INFORM ABOUT THE ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE TIMES, i.e. not only the dates, because otherwise I may not be able to host due to distance and time (early/late arrivals) conflicts. From Torp airport it will take you 1,5-2 hours to get to my place. If I accept to host you, and you for some reason cannot come or have changed your plans, then please notify me. Otherwise, I might end up leaving you a "no show" reference. And how cool is that? I love life, and I am a curious, imaginative and a well balanced person who enjoy philosophing - a lot and about almost anything. I am usually very optimistic and consider the world as a playing ground for adventures where I prefer making my own experiences instead of listening to others. When I start a project, I usually do it well organized, thoroughly and in a responsible way. I am very down to earth, super realistic and live for the moment. My opinions are my own and, according to my friends I have a sympathetic radiation which makes my appearance both soft and deep at the same time. Although I am always on the lookout for unusual adventures, I still have an immense respect for family, home and social structure. I am a very conscious and reliable person but may surprise you by for instance giving wonderful gifts to people I appreciate. I enjoy life, have a good sense of humor and self-irony, which also makes me flexible, merry and far-seeing. "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans". "The road to success is always under construction." "You don't get a chance - you take it." "Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright - until they speak." "You cannot first say "yes" and then say "no, but you CAN first say "no" and they say "yes". It's all about the expectations you create by your answer. I appreciate humility and common politeness. This is important to me in order to avoid the feeling of being taken for granted - or even exploited. Now that you have read this far, I can tell you that I read lips in 5 languages. Please mention this and my real name Åse when you write your request. Then I'll know that you have read the most important part of my profile. I LOVE HUGS! (Made a hug agreement with some of my colleagues at work so that I can get my daily dose of it. :o) I wish everybody could have that possibility.

I'm a straightforward, normal, curious, gay, open minded man trying to be nice to others and live the life as best as I can. I have one flaw you should know about: I have a tendency to think the best about people until they prove otherwise .. but am not naive though. Previously worked many yrs in the oil and gas industry and a few yrs in renewables (installing windmills offshore). Retired spring 2025 and now I can travel more :)

My name is Magne, i started traveling to learn more about the great eastern spiritual traditions such as Buddhism and Vedanta, and continued travelling because I enjoy experiencing different cultures and having meaningful interactions with the people I meet. My intention in traveling is to not be a typical tourist, but rather live more locally, i view traveling as more about the people, and less about the destination.
