About Me

I'm a person of diverse interests, and my goal in life is to experience all there is, to never stop learning and to live wherever I want. I'm moving to Italy in August this year (2019) and want to see what crowdsurfing - mainly hosting - is like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience it?

Interests

As with every Norwegian I was born skiing. If you've never tried cross-country skiing, you're in for a treat (and soar muscles) if you want to. I am also a great fan of cooking and making dishes inspired by the different Norwegian winners of the bocuse d'or (though not nearly as good... yet).
Languages and learning about new cultures are two other huge interests I have, so feel free to speak the language you want to - at least to some extent.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music. Everything there is from Turboneger and Ghost to Sia and Rihanna to Pavarotti and Puccini.
I read at least 5 hours a day. Favorite books are Peter Thiel's "zero to one", Yuval Noah Harari "sapiens" and (even though I haven't finished it yet) Robert Kiyosaki "rich dad, poor dad".
When it comes to movies everything will work, but "Django" and "The man from U.N.C.L.E" are movies I can watch over and over again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The northern lights from far up north in Norway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to ski if the weather and conditions are good enough, and you can ask me questions about the Norwegian legal system, entrepreneurship and other "fun" facts. Wow, this sounds boring when I read it through, but I really am an extrovert per definition! I swear!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great time!
