ABOUT ME
I have a house with a couch need I say more? And a cute cat that ravages the neighborhoods birdlife. Sometimes I think he enjoys life even more than me..and taking the life of a bird.
I would say that I am social type that enjoy the company of other people. I am down to earth and easy to get to know. I belive that one of my strong sides is my patience around other people and that I take the time to listen to other people stories.
And as Joe Dirt would have said it: Life is a garden - dig it!
PHILOSOPHY
What if by Kipling:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Kipling (1911)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Never couchsurfed. Though, unintendly slept on several of my friends couch after one to many. For me I think I am more of a hoster than a surfer since I personally like to live in hotels. So if i am abroad I will mostly use couchsurfing to meet new people and get information about the travel destination. I also have a caravan so mayby one day I will ask to lend your parkingspot or frontyard:)
Interests
Concerts man, concerts! On festivals..
The last 6 years I've been to around 3-5 different festivals each year. Hove-festival, Roskilde festival, Quart, Slottsfjell, Øya, Norwegian Wood is just some of the places I hav e been to. I love live music and the special vibe and togetherness that festivals bring.
Its also a good reason to pour that nice icecold beer down the throat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
An amazing concert with System of a Down at Norwegian Wood in 2005 and Black Sabbath at Roskilde in 2005. Never seen so dedicated fans before..at Roskilde people hummed the melody of "Iron man" for days.
People actually sang the song before other bands started playing, which actually was very rude, but fun to experience and be a part of.
When I was a little kid I was out in the summerrain shirtless and I could not feel the rain since it had the same temperature as my skin. Thought I had gone numb or something..
