About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Why have one mission if you can have three? First: To bring our new company to the top in our marked segment. Second: Find friends to rock'n roll northern Norway all year long. Third: Give others the opportunity to explore wonderful Lofoten!

ABOUT ME

Well, come and find out yourself. I work as a biologist and researcher at a local fish farm in Stamsund, Lofoten. Originally I'm from Switzerland and hat's where I got to like snow and everything with it. Besides Switzerland I have lived in the US for one year where I discovered my need to see new places and explore the world. The past eight years I've lived in Norway, mainly in Trondheim, where I studied. I like challenges and get energy from them, enjoy each day and try not to fall into boring routines. After ending up in beautiful Lofoten I discovered the need for more social contact and since I have a spare room it seemed like a good idea to invite a few happy campers to do some couch surfing, have a beer or just hang out together.

PHILOSOPHY

Only dead fish go with the flow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure wheter I'm going to enjoy the services of other hosts, but I'd definately like to invite you to come and visit us in Lofoten. My mission is to get to know and hang out with other interesting people with new ideas, enriching both their and my life. On top of that I have a spare room with a double bed to offer, making it possible for others to enjoy Northern Norway pretty much all year round.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunaltely none so far as I just joined the network.

Interests

Life is too short and this list too long, so I'll try to keep it short and simple.

My passions are:

-all kinds of sports (swowboarding, skiing, diving, climbing, hiking, camping, squash, fotball, etc.)

-fishing

-photography

-travelling and experiencing new things

-enjoy a beer in good company

-to learn new stuff every day

-music

-sometimes a good night sleep does the job as well :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of my reading happens on the internett, alhtough a good book every now and then doesn't hurt. Most books I've read are adventure books or actual stories of people.

I like a lot of different music, althoug techno and hip hop are definately none of my favorites.

During my student live I've watched quit a lot of movies but lately I just haven't found the time, maybe when winter comes... Most of my favorite films belong to the action/drama/advendture and a litte science fiction genre.
