Hi, my name is Erik, I am 37 of age and live in Norway. Currently looking to get back into language teaching. I Have a big interest in the field of health, where my approach is a holistic pragmatic aporoach including spirit, mind and body and looking at health as a whole and incorporating both and both eastern and western approaches to health and healing

I believe the spiritual domain has the most power which includes love in all its forms and the letting go of the blocks to love. Goodwill, unconditional kindness, greatfullness, forgiveness, the letting go of resentments, compassion, letting go, appreciation, caring, humor, beauty, music,

Am interested in traveling more hearing people's stories, talk about common interests, win and losses, troubles and how they delt with them. I am looking forward experiencing even more different cultures and people and hear what they have to say about society challenging areas and areas of gratitude.

I love alot of things some of them are
: Dogs and cats
: Nature in particular forests in late spring, summer and early fall
: The music of Celine Dion & Andrea Bochelli

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel the world and meet people which I generally prefer to staying in a hotel.

To make travel more affordable than it would be without the goodwill of people who are willing to share their homes.

The possibility of connection and establishing potential longterm friendships along the way.

Interests

Personal development in particular Jim Rohn, currently interested in timemanagement

Peace, health, travel, meditation, dance, healthy nutrition, chess (though not particularly good at it)

An interest in all areas of health the body, the mind and the spirit

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My dear father and much loved uncle who passed away went to the Alps before he moved on. It was important to him because this is something he really wanted to do but hadn't manifested yet.

Being one the kindest men I have ever met and one of the people I have loved the most in this life. It really makes me happy to think of him and that we could be part of making this happen and share this experience together. I didn't do much as my father did most of the finances and planning for the trip. And a big thank you to him for doing so. So I could easily come on the trip with them.

There was a moment that I hope will stay with me forever where my uncle is looking out at the view over the Alps with a mixture of humble gratitude, awe and happiness
