ABOUT ME

The northern light is really great. Add a nice soundtrack, and it becomes an fantastic experience. I love it up here. (And I miss it already, since I've been living in Oslo the last couple years.)

PHILOSOPHY

Right now, I think it's this: There is a lot of things that I feel doesn't matter, which makes it easier to focus on the few things that do matter: Be kind, share moments with great people, share what you can and feel comfortable with. It might not sound like a lot, but it can be so powerful.

I try to embrace oportunities of joyfullness, of being content. Luckily, they usually appear often. I'm so bloody lucky!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing. Terrific stuff, both.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've been around. I've hosted people with interesting stories and personalities, had to reconsider my views of the world, made new friends, gotten surprised by the warmth and hospitality of people, laughed alot, been happy, happy - Pretty good, I guess? Pretty fantastic, I'd say. Keeep it upp, world.

Interests

Small adventures, ideas and big hearts. There is much more, but I do believe that list is so long and massive, that it would be unfair only to list some of it here. I'm kind of open to most things. There's so much fun knowledge out there!

Like ants! Let me tell you about ants some time.

Music, Movies, and Books

This basicly tells you what I listen to: http://last.fm/user/visionize

There is not much I can't enjoy, and there's quite a few culture things that I really really love. Suggest me something nice. Any thing you care about, I might care about. I love sharing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Northern light, your smile, someone dancing in the rain an early sunny morning, dancing myself in the empty, silent streets in the middle of the night.

Oh, writing postcards and having my lunch on the tip of Cliffs of Moher.

I know we're supposed to pick, but how can I? Life is too good at times.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be nice, kind, warm, try to enjoy life and appreciate the small, fantastic things. The big things might seem special, and sometimes they are, but its the small things that happends daily that really kicks it.

Although it might not rid the world of evil, I care a big deal, and try to share my warmth and happiness. I really believe it might make a small dent in someones lives, and that's enough.

More happiness!
