CURRENT MISSION
Share. Silence & thoughts. Frustration & Joy. Commitment & Enthousiasm.

ABOUT ME
Open hearted. Like to listen & ask questions. But can also talk about myself. Love to be challenged by creative persons. Am a lighthouse keeper. Have been living & working in Northern Norway, France & Middle East. Worked as journalist for some years. Have also been responsible for the local library in the small arctic community where I live.

PHILOSOPHY
'No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main'. John Donne.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Would love to meet new persons where I come, who are ready to meet for a talk or a walk. Or who has a couch to offer. I can sometimes offer a special couch at a unique place on a small island beyond the polar circle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have received quite a few persons, but not used it when travelling myself - yet. However looking forward to that.
