From Wikitravel
Hi, I'm Peter, a relaxed 26 year old Norwegian currently living in London where I study International Politics, with particular focus on China and the Middle East, and Southeast Asian History. I also try to travel as much as possible, and I'm trying to both share my own experiences and gain new ones through WikiTravel.

About me
Me in NYC
I grew up in Oslo, Norway, and thanks to a very international-minded grandmother (!), I was brought along on journeys from before I could walk. I visited China for the first time when I was 10, an experience I'll never forget. I've travelled through Gambia, Tunisia, Morocco, most European Countries numerous times (Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Albania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark), The U.S (New York and around California), Israel, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia.
I've spent time living in Spain, and I am now living in central London.
I am currently doing my studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), where I expect to graduate in 2007. Before I started my studies, I spent almost 10 years working for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, where I reported for, and produced, radio news broadcasts. I also spent some time reporting TV news, and I hosted an investigative television show. I am currently on study leave to finish my degree.
