About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking through Europe

ABOUT ME

I'm a social and easygoing person who enjoys all the good things life has to offer (like foods, nature, music and good times with friends).
I'm studying marketing, but currently I'm taking a year off from all the schoolwork to backpack my way through Europe.
I like to get in touch with new types of people and cultures from all over the world, that way I can learn to observe life through a different perspective.
I have a special interest for nature, music, photography, and of course traveling. I love the nature of our big planet, and I have quite an respect for all types of natural phenomenon and spectacular places such as aurora borealis, volcanoes, extreme whether, mountains, coral reefs and the great seas.
My new life passion is traveling, and I’m always carrying my camera with me to see if I can recreate some of the worlds fascinating nature, cultures, and people.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a part of all that I have met.

The soul is the same in all living creatures although the body of each is different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Us Vikings from the northern part of the globe have a long tradition in hosting travelers and strangers from all over the world.
Although it’s a bit hard for me to host travelers these days, I'll try to have a spare bed or a couch saved for strangers whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Paris in 2010, beside from that I've not done it that much. Hopefully someone is willing to host a friendly Viking on my backpacking through Europe.

Nature, wind kiting, mountain hiking and photography.
