Meet Rolf
Sociable, Open minded, Adventurous
I enjoy socializing with guests if they are in the mood for it, but also respect people's need for privacy and solitude. I'm incessantly curious and eager to learn about other cultures and languages.
On a typical day...
I’m mostly at home/work from home.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.
Family Hobbies

- Students
I'm living in a large apartment with lots of musical instruments and thousands of books in central Oslo. Since my son is studying in another town, I'm making his room available for homestay.
I'm an anthropologist and engineer with a special interest in East Asia - so I'm particularly happy to host students and travelers from that region of the world. I speak some Japanese, and is eager to improve my language skills.
I love to host people who play a musical instruments and guests are free to use the grand piano and other instruments in the house.
