I'm an spontaneous and adventurous guy, that wants to do and see as much as I can. I love meeting new people, seeing new places, experience new cultures and tasting new food!

I am born in a coastal town called Stavanger. Around it is some of the most breathtaking sceneries Norway has to offer. I have a passion for nature, and spend most of my time in it.

My camera has become my traveling partner. I love to mix my passions with photography, whether I'm hiking, rock climbing, skiing or traveling. My camera will always be there to capture the moment.

Thanks to my parents I've already seen some places around the world. But as you probably know traveling can be addictive. In 2013 I traveled South East Asia, which was my first "by myself" backpacking experience.

In early 2015 I did a solo trip, 5 months in New Zealand, and South America. I made new friends and saw some amazing places.

I will not consider requests sent more than 7 days in advance prior the requested dates.

I prefer guests that stay more than 3 nights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most visitors come to see the nature around my town. As an couchsurfer I can share my local knowledge and hopefully give them the best possible experience. As you might notice, I prefer to spend time with my guests. I love to walk around in my home town, and if time allows I even take surfers hiking.

By using couchsurfing for my travels, I hope to meet locals or likeminded people who wants to spend some time with me. Of course this is not always possible and I'm more than happy to have a couch to crash on!

Interests

I do a lot of stuff, and never say no to try out something new! Photography, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, skiing and scuba diving is some of my bigger interest. I love adrenalin, and try to push my boundaries from time to time.
