I read blogs for a living

And I think I like it

Going to North America for 10 days

, ,

I'm visiting my friend Jason in Canada from November 4th - 14th. He lives in Ottawa. And it got me thinking... I'm pretty close to the border and booking a flight to visit the US would be sweet! So, is anyone interested in meeting up and letting me couch surf for a day? smile

Anyway, drop me a line here or send me a PM. Get yeah!

Yes. My girlfriend Meghan will be visiting from California October 3-November 7. I will be off from work that last week, so if you wanted to visit before your Canada trip, it would be very convenient. You can stay for as long as you'd like!

I can't go there before since my flight is already booked from Oslo to Ottawa. I can however book a flight after I arrive in Canada to anywhere in the US!

Quite welcome to come down here anytime during that following week, but the week afterwards I'll be in Houston on a mini-vacation myself. Only problem I see is that it's a long flight and a good bit of money for a short visit, but you're welcome to come.

If you do come about the only entertaining thing to do around here is eat, but the food is great.

I'm sure Espen can find some way of "entertaining" himself when you are around..

I can't get any days off from work during that time, but usually we have a couch wide open for visitors. If you find someone around Washington DC, it's one of the best trips I've ever had in the USA.

Next year you should come over and go to Burning Man with us.

I hope you have a great trip. up

That sort of activity is only reserved for Oleg.

(If My Opera doesn't turn up a host, there is always http://www.couchsurfing.org which seems to gather a really nice and helpful crowd. We've been members since spring, nothing but positive experiences - though expect to spend some time answering requests if you live in or around Oslo and sign up! Living in an expensive city with lots of cheap flights means many people will try couchsurfing wink)

Aren't you visiting me too?

dwigh awexrahma Wednesday, August 18, 2010 10:22:52 PM

Hey Espen
North America is a big place. I am in Vancouver, only about a 3 hour plane ride,(or 5 day drive) from Ottawa. Us Vancouverites say that there are only about 500 sq. kms of land in Canada that are truly fit for human habitation (reasonable temperatures year round) and that is where we live. If you make it here, you are welcome on our couch. Besides,
I owe you for the cool Opera shirt I got a few years back.
