One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attacked by a bear and live to tell the story

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anything technology and computer, languages I speak, Norwegian and US culture and local life. Basic surfing, scuba diving, boating. My travels around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

House, transportation, boating, pool, food, wine, stories and experiences. If you want to do something on the crazy side I can also offer skydiving, scuba diving and other fun stuff. I am very outgoing and don't like to watch TV but rather live life to fullest.
