About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live free - be a cosmopolitian!

ABOUT ME

It's a rich life between the loneliness in deep forrest - where you find deer, hawks and trolls - and - crowded, noisiness cities - where you find happy, exciting people. I love the contrasts - I love to be there - all way between!

PHILOSOPHY

Live with love and passion - in nature - with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many years ago - on my long backpacker trip in south east asia - I met uncle Didi on Sumatera. A warm, extraordinary, humorous old man. He lived in a beautiful town - Bukutingi - surrounded with volcanoes and jungels. Unbelievable beautiful! Didi - with his entire soul - he open up his home. I learn a deep wisdom for life - that week.

Interests

Virgin forests, hawks, old trees with moss, marsh, myths, trolls. In the dusk - sit on a stump - deep breath - find the pulse - balance - soar. The hawk will soon wish you welcome and be there togheter with you. The trolls lurking!

Norse myth, legends and beliefs. Old gods as; Odin - and his raven Hugin and Munin. Tor and his hammer - the god of thunder. Frøya - the goddess of love, beauty and fertility. Vetter as nøkken, draugen and huldra.

Ocean, kayaking, islands - find the spot where the ocean - the land and the sky - merge. Wonderful to be there in sunset - golden, blue, nordic light - hmmmmmmm

Concerts, rhythms, guitar, sustainable living, politics, smile, conversations, learning, sociology, conservation,
