Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ideally to find places to stay during travels and to return the favour (by paying it forward), giving someone else a place to couch surf.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching: First aid skills (you won't be certified, but you'll know what to do in emergency situations), English language, writing skills, public speaking skills, how to play the guitar, and more...

Learning: I'm open to acquiring any form of knowledge and insight; very keen and in desperate need of someone to speak Norwegian to in order to practice speaking the language and correct language use.

Share: Far too much to fit in here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a low maintenance guest. I can find my way around a city completely new to me and I can provide for myself. At the same time, very easy going and able to fit into my host's schedule. I'm good company, light hearted and I offer a very different and unique perspective on most of life's grey areas.
