Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Would love to meet new persons where I come, who are ready to meet for a talk or a walk. Or who has a couch to offer. I can sometimes offer a special couch at a unique place on a small island beyond the polar circle. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Have received quite a few persons, but not used it when travelling myself - yet. However looking forward to that.
Music, Movies, and Books
Author: curious about everything contemporary. Music: absolutely! right music for the right moment is a challenge. world, experimental jazz and gregorian songs. Film: 'Bobby', 'Babel' and 'Little miss Sunshine' are some of my favorites.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Lived on a lighthouse in the middle of no-where.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share stories about Northern Norway, or the Middle East. If you like. But I can also help out, making food, do the dishes, clean, help in the garden, help re-organising, or other things you need an extra hand with.
