My name is Harald and i'm 42 yo. I live in Sandnes, 10 min from Stavanger in the southwest of Norway. Earlier, i lived for a while in Moss near Oslo and in Tromsø in northern Norway.
Im active and social, I love to meet new people and to learn new things from different cultures. I have been using couchsurfing for a few years now, mostly for hangouts and hosting, but sometimes i like to surf myself.

Read the ground rules in my home section before you send a request :)

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I want to make new friends, hear new stories, give and get travel tips, hang out and help people who are interested in visiting Norway.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

Visited 90 countries! (some of them disputed territories to be honest) 🌍

Went to Chernobyl during a trip to Kiev ☢️

Drank local beer in natural hotsprings/a river in a native village in Wulaj, Taiwan

Once in Las Vegas, I got the pleasure of having a ride-along with the LVPD K9 unit all night. Very exciting!

Hiking in the mountains of Hong Kong was a great experience for me. It combined two of my favorite things, a vibrant exciting big city with beautiful nature.

One of my first true experiences on CS was when i visited the not so touristy Bangladesh. Because of cs and a great host, i got a deep look into this intense country. We went to shipbreaking yards, visited orphan kids living in the slums under a river bridge and saw the trains with people hanging of the roof crossing through a marked located on the train tracks.

After this i have continued to visit interesting countries and disputed territories around the world, and its very interesting for me to see the contrasts to put my own life in perspective, and i am still amazed of how many smiling and curious people i meet all over the world.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I can take people hiking, there are a lot of amazing spots to see thats not in every guide book.
If you are interested in photography, we can try to take som cool pictures together.
I am an improving struggling hobby chef, and i would like to learn more cooking :)

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

I am friendly and trustworthy, i will bring a fun gift and tell some interesting stories :)
I will clean up after myself and help with things if needed. I am not a heavy drinker at all, and i dont smoke.
