Meet-ups are welcome! I MAY ONLY HOST ONE (1) TRAVELER FOR ONE (1) NIGHT AT THE MOMENT!!

As of now, I am residing in the Knowledge Capital of the Kingdom of Norway : Trondheim, located in the county of Trøndelag in the wide middle of this country. I have lived in a bunch of countries so far, and I have traveled to a handful more. That said, I am particularly used to being asked the curiosity-filled phrase: 《Hvor kommer du egentlig fra?》 - which means 'Where do you come from in reality?' , in accurate Norwegian bokmål.

I am very passionate about things I find the matter to focus my efforts and energy onto, say, everything related to more sustainable ways of living such as minimalism and biking. useful and simple. That said, I have decided to change my habits and thoughts in order to maintain a lifestyle that pushes me responsibly and actively. I still can not find a substitute for flying which compensates the dilemma 'cost + time + benefit', although I am concerned that flight emissions are a big problem to be solved when it comes to the preferred way to abroad trips.

What defines myself in a few words is: peace promoter, minimalism, foreign languages and cultures, order, and respect/openness.

I manage to communicate, beside Spanish (Medieval Castilian brought to the Americas by the Crown of Castille, what today's known as the Kingdom of Spain) –to which I am a native speaker–, English (Canadian-American[US]) , and Norwegian (bokmål with a "trønder-twist"). I do speak French that needs betterment through cultural immersion or daily practice in a French-speaking environment. I'd say I can naturally hold a simple conversation in Italian, a language that sounds like love and romanticism in my ears. Portuguese, especially written, the way I do with Danish and Swedish after learning Norwegian, are together not an obstacle at all. German (Swiss) is next!

Welcome! / ¡Bienvenidos! / Velkommen!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going up north to the Norwegian Polar Circle and watching the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) dancing for me! It was an unforgettable experience that I'm grateful for.

After eight months of living in the nation, I learned Norwegian at the age of adulthood, a language completely different from mine, and I passed the official test at an advanced level.

I write poetry, mostly rhyme, in my mother tongue Spanish and in Norwegian. I got a couple poems written down in French, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach a bit of the languages I know.
Why not cooking together as well?
Into tennis? ¡Vamos!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch to lie on, soap/shampoo, maybe local tours in the area...
