Music, Movies, and Books
I like the kind of movies that make no sense the first time you watch it, but takes two or three views to realize how good they are. Favorite movies: The Prestige, Shutter Island, Memento, Good Will Hunting, (500) days of Summer, Mr. Nobody, Whiplash Favorite books: To Kill a Mocking Bird, Pan, Beatles (Norwegian) Favorit music: Oasis, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, The Beatles and a whole bunch of random Norwegian bands
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Many of my most memorable moments are from spontaneous games of footy with locals in random fields of Laos, Cambodia and Burundi, urban streetgames in Hong Kong and Bangkok, and beach soccer in Zanzibar and Byron Bay. Other things amazing to me was eating live squid in a local restaurant in Seoul, crossing the Taroko Gorge in Taiwan, riding a horse up a volcano in East Java to catch the sunrise, diving with sharks in The Great Barrier Reef and witnessing the Great Migration in the Masai Mara.
