About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Too go as many places, meet as many awesome people and have the best time I possibly can!

ABOUT ME
I regard myself as an optimistic (still) young man with a passion for travel. I have been to quite a few places and for every place I go, I want to go to 10 more!
I believe I know a little about many things, so if you find something interesting, I am happy to discuss it and learn all you've got to give!

In 2010 I made a 6 month circumnavigation of the globe, via 26 countries. I've got the best of stories to tell!

Some "fun facts":
- I am taller than most of you.
- I like competition.
- I definitely am a talker.
- I like scars with funny stories behind them.
- I like dogs.
- Wine: Red
-I got stabbed with a screwdriver in Mongolia.
- Favorite football clubs: Rosenborg, Barcelona and Manchester United.
- I am curious by nature.

PHILOSOPHY
Everyone has a good side, when you meet somebody, look for it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Katie Melua and many more...

I love books about traveling! "Honeymoon with my brother" and "Investment biker" are two of my favorites.

Forrest Gump is a classic... And my favorite movie scene ever is the first minutes of "The Waitress"... There are so many amazingly tasteful-looking pies there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caught a foul ball at a San Francisco Giants baseball game, while filming it with the other hand! What are the chances for that to happen?

There were 40 000 people in the stadium, the game lasted for 3 hours and I filmed 3 of the plays. You do the math...

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn it all! Tell me about your country, it´s history, your culture and your favorite spot in your city! I am also interested in your countries food traditions:D (Got to love food! Right :P)

I have many stories to share and I can of course tell you about life in Norway and China!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides amazing stories from around the world I am a business idea addict. I have so many ideas to play with - maybe one of them will trigger you and we can build it together?
