Hii! I’m Leon (24), a Norwegian native. In addition I am also a musician, poet, and a student pursuing Finance and International Management degrees at NHH Norwegian School of Economics, but not really feeling very financy myself. Now, as I’m on my last year of my double degree, I really want to connect with people all over the world. Maybe I’ll see myself moving to a strange place to strange people I am yet to meet.

I love movies, reading, bouldering, learning languages, travelling, history, and much more!!
With my bands, I’ve been touring all of the Nordic countries, as well as Estonia and Germany, and looove to meet fellow music/art lovers.

Currently doing exchange at Keio University in Tokyo (March-August)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Share experiences from people all over the world and learn new things and skills!
I used to only do this when I was playing with my bands, but now... I wanna do it all outside the music touring sphere as well, so I really have time to connect with people.

Interests

Bouldering, table tennis, board/card games, beer, coffee, music and poetry (obviously), etc. !!

• music
• economics
• history
• language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music!! I’m part of a indie rock band atm, but I have also participated in prog metal, pop, techno, and americana projects. I adore all sorts of music.

I especially love arthaus movies, but all movies in general are interesting to me. I often attend screenings at film clubs when I get the chance.

Currently reading Norwegian translations of Hiromi Ito’s published works. A fan of surreal themes. I always carry a poem collection with me as well. These days it’s Erich Fried’s "Liebesgedichte".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did not one, but TWO warmup gigs for AURORA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can learn you some music skills and Norwegian!
As I write a lot of poetry and prose, I am really keen on sharing writing experiences and tricks from others.
We could do collaborative poetry writing for example!

I would also be keen on a jam session, if you happen to be a musician. I’m always bringing my sampler and mouth harp when I’m travelling. At home I have several instruments and always up for playing if you’re in town.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Eternal gratitude and kindness. I can help u out with whatever!
