Im Torkil from Norway, Im currently travelling for some months in Japan!

Thank you for visiting my profile 😌

When travelling I like to try new things and learn about cultures, I want to expand my perspective of our world and how people live their life. I quit my job in 2023 and have mostly been out travelling since then.

Im always carrying a sketchbook and a small watercolour kit when exploring around, I really appreciate a nice view and somewhere I can sit and take it all in and paint. Being in nature and filling my sight with green makes me feel really good 😌

I like things that feel genuine and cosy places. Im happy to bake you some cinnamon buns if you have an oven, or I could cook some really good tacos for you. And of course I will paint something for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have amazing experiences with new friends and see new perspectives of the world and how others live their lifes.

Progress is to create more happiness in the world, and creating memorable stories with new friends is one of the best way to achieve that.
