I had talked about it a long time, and in many ways glorified the whole thing. It here is simply a small dream I have had for quite a while. I have always had a bomsete image, so this fits me very well, explaining the Distinction to the Newspaper.

Tredjeårsstudenten of anthropology at the University of Tromsø has shared the apartment with friends and lived in the collective past, but when he tested "the dream" to stay in the car on a holiday trip in Australia, he decided.

- It is so clear something more challenging to stay in a car in Tromsø compared with Australia. But frihetsfølelsen is the same. It is the best to stay in the car. I park where I want and live where I want, " says 23-year-old from Elverum, norway.

Distinguish is an avid skientusiast, and it is also one of the reasons that he chose Tromsø as studieby.

- the Advantage of this way to stay on, is that nothing is static, and I can seek out parking spaces that relate to what I'm going the day after. Ski-my interest is also one of the reasons that I do this. It is reported new snow I'm first down the hill.

He parked around the city and has been awarded five-six fines in the last half of the year. But it takes the budget that would otherwise have gone to rent.

He has not set up a proper calculation, but he assumes that he saves around between 5000 to 6000 dollars in rent each month.

- instead, I pay a tusenlapp in car insurance and have more money on sparekontoen than before. Now I take me the advice to go skiing to the Alps.

Sleeping bag and hat

Otherwise, thank he a hostile boss that he is often allowed to be parked outside the job. Next to studying, work Distinction of Cirkle K in the city. Here, he has had access to to bring him a hot cup of coffee, to dry clothes and borrow a little power.

I can't just glorifisere this. I go all the time around and is a bit halvskral. In the middle of the examination period, I was bad with halsbetennelse. But I knasker some tylenol and take some repsils when I feel the need. I think it's fun that I get tested this here.

Get the chicks on the visit

I am fond of both comfort and a good and warm bed - and the nights I lend indoors with his paternal grandmother for example, where I can get a made bed and the breakfast served is of course appreciated and welcome. But I've obviously lowered the standards for what I consider as comfort.

Tarjei has there been the luxury to distance itself from the default preferences.

- We have simply become too spoiled with how we have it, and the requirements we set for comfort is greater than it is rational to have for a happy life. I think it is pleasant to be able to dissociate myself from it – although I'm happy when those moments also strikes me.

- You are 23 years old and a student. How does the situation on the ladies?

Haha, there have been poor results with the visit in my car. It is a little small space in the car and I will admit that it is difficult to conceive ladies in the lower with the life here. But so is not the focus of my rather, say, Distinguish and laughs.

He admits that there have been some comical moments in the connection.

- Yes, it quickly becomes a bit like that if we had put us in the car. She: "How far are we going?" I: "No, we are at home now thus", he says and laughs.

- But if the opportunity has offered itself, I would rather say that I have been lucky and got a night indoors.

What do you do all the hours before you go to sleep?

I have been able to utilize good friends, " he says, and laughs. The car is not something particular to the living room, I sleep in it, and sustain me there rarely otherwise. I'm much on the klatresenteret where I coach, and also use the library a part. I have read a lot of good the last half of the year, " he says.

Shower and other necessary chores does he do either with friends, at school, or preferably, on the klatresenteret he is an avid user of.
