Hello everyone, new year new me, isn't that grand? Happy 2025. This is the time of year where I update my bio.

Who am I? I'm Herman from Norway. It's nice to meet you.
I see myself as an easy going and open minded lad. Who's spent the last 8 years living out of his backpack and lived in 5 countries and still going strong.

When I am not activly travelling or exploring, you can either find me on my computer where I work remotely, or enjoying things like a nice walk, biking, hiking, playing chess or whatever else may be thrown my way.
I find myself liking many different approaches to life, I love mixing it up. Sometimes I love a city trip, other times it's a bike trip, or maybe a beach destiantion. The more the merrier. Often find myself enjoying a challenge of being forced to try something new as well. Even if I may be reluctant at first.

I don't travel in the same way as I did before I started working remotely, but I still love to meet up for occasional meetups or meet folks for drinks, share some good stories or go exploring and would love to continue to do so in 2025!

You can also find me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/herman_eng98?utm_source=qr&igshid=MzNlNGNkZWQ4Mg%3D%3D

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people and locals. Couchsurfing and hostels is definitely how I prefer to travel as you get to meet new people rather then just being by yourself at a hotel. I have met people who still to this day are close friends thanks to Couchsurfing.
