Overview
About Me
I'm talkative, curious and creative. I like to meet new people and hear about what they are up to and what they like doing.
In June 2016 I finished a contract in Oslo, Norway, sold all my stuff, canceled my apartment and went traveling. I got to see Iceland, then cross the Rockies on a off-road motorcycle!
Now I am back in Oslo building CNC machines and holding courses in various making skills throughmy own company.
In Olso I sometimes run an AirBnB in a floating sauna raft that I have designed and built. It's not currently possible to rent it out in the location it is now, but I hopew
I grew up around and studied in Luleå in northern Sweden but have spent the last 5 years living in Oslo Norway. I'm partnered in a open relationship with an amazing, inspiring person.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm interested in meeting real people who live in the place I'm visiting. I also think coach surfing and hosing is a great way to create valuable experiences for both parties. I'm a big believer of the Sharing is Caring mentality.
Interests
Old text: This US trip will be my biggest motorcycle adventure so far! I'm really excited about it and would appreciate help planning my route along local backcountry roads. I hope to stay away from the highways and seek out epic nature instead. When I'm not couch surfing I plan to be tenting out in nature. EDIT: Turned out great! Just as good as I hoped, ca recommend!
I'm active in the Oslo Maker-space environment where I dabble in 3D printing, laser cutting, robotic model car racing, computer controlled wood machining, beer and mead brewing and other fun things. I would love to get in touch with the local Maker/hacker crowd!
Music, Movies, and Books
With books I currently prefer Sci-Fi but I have been reading Fantasy for a long time.
Favorite authors include: Brandon Sanderson, Stephen King, Orson Scott Card, Robin Hobb, James S. A. Corey, Jack Campbell...
I haven't watched a lot of movies lately but am willing to do so should an interesting opportunity present itself. Series I have enjoyed lately include: Mythbusters, South Park, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Quit my job, sold my stuff and gone exploring!
The idea is to do projects that I believe in and want to succeed, and hopefully some of them can be turned into resources that keep me going.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have 10 years of professional experience of 3D modelling in CAD software so if you want to get started in that I could set you up.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Inspiration to follow your dreams and creative ideas like building tree houses and turning them into AirBnB mini hostels.
