Couch Information



Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Any
No smoking allowed
Has children: No
Can host children: No
Has pets: No
Can host pets: No
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends
Shared Room: Depends

Have one bed for two persons.

I live with my mom right outside a city called Lillestrøm, about 15-20 mins away from Oslo. We have a double guest bed in a guest room, okay I guess, but not the most comfortable. We don't have any pets, we both smoke, but only outside on the balkony where you are welcome to join. It's really not a lot of things happening up here, but the buses can take you to Lillestrøm or Oslo, and they go quite often in the daytime. Propably I'll be able to go with you wherever you want to show you around, but it depends on if I'm working or doing something else. We have blankets, and every day is a good couchsurfing day. In general I won't host for more than 4 days, but if you need a place for a longer period, it means you have 4 days to make a hell of a good impression :)

Personal Description

I do what I want, as long it's not hurting anyone.

How I Participate in CS

As soon as I get my own little crappy place to live, I will host as many people as I can. Because having a place to sleep when you're travelling around shouldn't cost you any money at all.

CouchSurfing Experience

Surfing in Copenhagen, Florida and Mexico. Only good and excellent experiences.

Interests

Music, literature and any other kind of art, media, beer and all living creatures.

Philosophy

I'm an anarchist, but a pretty peaceful one. I believe that the world will be a better place without unnatural authorities.

Music, Movies, Books

Everything that people have put their soul into.

Types of People I enjoy

People with an open mind, and other values in life than money and power.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a thing or two about media and politics, and want to learn about life, art and other cultures. And if somebody would teach me some of their language, it would be fucking awesome.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Hm.. Just give me some time, and I'll give you some amazing things.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Jonas is an excellent guest, able to adapt to life in a quiet part of town with older folks. We enjoyed his music and his tales of Norway. His world view is a good match for ours, despite our age difference. We would welcome him again.

Jonas was really nice to talk with. I saw that we had many things in common and even though it was the first time meeting him and Sigurd we were able to talk about so many things. Wonderful meeting you - see you soon!

Jonas is like calm water. cool and relaxed. A rock 'n' roller at heart, and at one with the moment. It is good to meet friends like these when your on the road. You just got to be around them to know there is nothing to worry about.

After all that has happened, it seems fair and necessary that I update this reference. Talking, laughing, fighting, crying, drinking, riding, thinking, dreaming and even getting robbed... you name it! There are virtually very few things I haven´t done with this guy. Jonas is a great and I´m really glad I took the chance to host him. Just make sure you have enough food :p He is definitely one of my most favourite surfers. Nos vemos en Noruega :D
