One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in Brasil. One of the most amazing thing I have ever done!

Boattrip from Colombia to Panama where I got to live with the indigeous people Kuna. Sleeping in hammocks and snorkeling for my own dinner. Unforgettable exprience.

Hiking in Patagonia, the Argentinian side. It was absolutly incredible and I am going back there one day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try and teach norwegian, I dont know what you will use it for though ;P I can show you around the beautiful city of Bergen, although tourists often know more about it than I do.

We can cook some traditional food togheter. The norwegian taco is really good. I can share my culture, whatever that is. My grandfather told me that his great great great grandfather was the last viking of Norway, but I am not sure if I totally believe him and I dont feel like a viking :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travelling experiences, music, food. Mi casa es su casa.

My philosophy is taken by an aboriginal man that features in the documentary called "Human". I recommend every traveler to watch it. It's truly beautiful.

“In our language we have no such word as “please” or “thank you”, because what is expected of us is that we share and we give what we have. Today we have to say “please”, we have to say “thank you”, we have to beg for things. In the old days, it was just a giving thing that we would share things. That was a part of who we are. But nowadays its “mine”. There are words like “mine”. We don’t share our things anymore. It kills us as human beings, as a society, as a race, the human race. We deny other people shelter, we deny other people food, we deny other people their survival, purely because of money.”
