Since I was a small boy I haved loved travelling and have always been drawn to foreign contries, cultures, food and languages. I am passionate about the whole intercontinental travel experience, including the time I spend at each airport, studying the aircrafts, reading the flight schedules, in-flight meals and airline design. Flying is a very special occasion.

I am half Australian but raised in Norway and always lived here. Lived in Amsterdam for a year as well and now in Oslo.

Classical literature is just one of my interests though. I really love languages, in particularly Icelandic and Japanese. Gaming (Nintendo) interests me a lot, also cinema (not only art house, but also horror and sci-fi) and philosophy (I'm a humble disciple of Henri Bergson).

I am obsessed with Rupaul's Drag Race.

PHILOSOPHY

Devout Bergonist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a very calm and careful person, sometimes shy and always trying to take good care of my friends, family and guests. I like going out for beers or staying home to watch a movie, but with guests I always make sure they feel they are getting the most out of their time, since it is limited, so I will always respect your wishes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a couple of times, surfed in Bath, London, Tokyo and New York.
