Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted with pleasure a number of people when I was living in Reykjavik...Now it is a bit difficult, but in the near future I hope to be able to be host again, in the magnificent beauty of the Valdres region in Oppland, Norway, where I am currently living...I still have plenty of other projects in my head though, and being rather adamant, to realize them, you might see me appearing in some other parts of the planet

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 1993 I spend one month in Kashmir and although the country is devastated by war and hatred and mutual suspicion, it's nature is one of the most stunning things I have ever seen. But I guess I have a few more good stories
