Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Change my procrastination lifestyle
ABOUT ME
Open minded, stright forward, liberal, bookreader, social, atheist, procrastinationist. I have labels and anti-labels, as most of us, I get shot in my foot every day (and like it).
Don't have a car, ride on the big red and blue things with a driver.
Have family living in Western-Norway, Germany, USA, Denmark, Sweden and more distant; in some other countries.
PHILOSOPHY
Strangers are friends you haven't met.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting, CS-parties, surfing.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Did some couchsurfing on my own and I've had couchsurfers in my flat, before i joined CS.
CouchSurfing.com:
Love the idea, like the concept, don't like freeriders.
Norway is expensive: Take it or leave it, the trip to Torp may look like a bargain, but (please) do some research on the country you meet after you leave the gate. We live here, we know, please don't repeat that over and over: It is expencive in Oslo.
But with CS, you can get a few tips from the locals and have a good time without getting busted by the
tourist traps.

Too many books. After working for years in a library and a bookshop, I've ended up with 15cm (6inch) wallpaper, mostly non-fiction. But I'm still looking for new books.
Too few movies, but like Jim Jarmusch, Monty Python, "City of God","Pinchcliffe Grand Prix", documentaries.
TV: NRK, SVT, DR, BBC, HBO, RTC...
Radio: NRK, SR, DR, BBC...
Just now; "World Music", "New Wave", Loke Nyberg, Flight of the Conchords...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feel like I'm half Cape-Verdean.
