CURRENT MISSION

To live, learn, meet new people, have fun and see the world

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing, openminded Norwegian guy who has a strong desire to see the world and experience the amazing cultural and natural diversity.
I've grown up in the south of Norway and later moved north to study at the university and later do my PhD.
I'm a very social person who rarely decline opportunities for social gatherings, or just hanging out. Humor is important to me, and is also a great ice-breaker!
I believe that people are people and shouldn't be judged from the generalisations that is set by the society. I am respectful for all people, regardless of their background, as long as they show others the same respect.

I've travelled quite a bit, and I'll travel even more in the future. I belileve that when you travel the best way to really experience the country you're visiting is to get in touch with the local people or someone knowing the country better than you.

PHILOSOPHY

You get what you give!
Respect people for who they are and what they stand for, not what society tells you!
I live to be a part of the world and contribute in whichever way I can. The world is a fantastic place, and I'm a part of it!
