TERJE "TERRY" DAHL

THE NORWEGIAN YACHTSMAN, ROBINSON CRUSOE, CLIMATE REFUGEE, COACH, EDITOR, AUTHOR, SONGWRITER, "GIANT HUNTER" AND ANCIENT HISTORY RESEARCHER
Emma, Sonia og Terje in paradise
I sailed single-handed from Norway to the Pacific in a 22-feet yacht. Unfortunately Coco Loco was damaged beyond repair in the Solomon Islands - after four years of incredible adventures. I returned to the Pacific after a few freezing months in Norway, by plane this time, and got married to Emma Toematagi in the Polynesian country of Tuvalu. We built our home on an uninhabited coral-island and lived a happy, modern Robinson Crusoe-life until a climate-change with hurricanes forced us away six years later. After some years in Norway we are now living in Australia, and besides editing my Norwegian internet magazine
"Sydhav" about the Pacifc islands, I am also researching ancient human history and publishing news about climate change.

(meg & sekstant)"YOU'RE NUTS!"
Coco Loco is the smallest Norwegian yacht to sail out to circumnavigate the world. 22 feet long, a Swedish-built Maxi 68. I sailed alone from Norway, and my only experience with sailing was in a small dinghy when I was about ten! Click

I MIGHT BE RELATED TO ROALD DAHL
The parents of the famous author came from Norway, but I have not managed to figure out if we are related. Well, I started to write fantasy stories in primary school - long before I had heard about Roald Dahl.

I HAVE READ MORE THAN 10.000 POCKETBOOKS
I was once a very fast reader. One book in bed when I woke up/ for breakfast, one book on the tram (T-bane) to/from work - and one at dinner/in bed night-time. Everything from romance to science-fiction. Most of the books from libraries but also from secondhand shops and a book-printing company that burned down.

FIRST CLIMATE REFUGEE!
I was called the "world's first climate refugee" by media all over the world when we had to leave our island in Tuvalu because of cyclones in a country too close to equator to have cyclones - click here!

Feel like something else but the regular pizza? Well, then it’s about time to try food from the South Pacific islands! Click here!

SKIJUMPING I REGRET!
I did a bit of skiing as young but then I fell and ruined my neck when skijunping. No treatments helped - and I could no longer press in the guitar strings. So only karaoke for me after that!

WORKED IN ADVERTISING
I worked for years as a copywriter and development planner in a major Norwegian advertising agency. At the same time I also wrote articlers for the newpapers about table tennis and criminal novels for a magazine.

A MODERN ROBINSON CRUSOE!
I never had a dream to leave the cold Norwegian winter and settle down on a tropical island, but that is what I did. To read more, click here!

SAVE TUVALU!
The islanders of the tiny South Pacific country of Tuvalu are sitting ducks for the climate-change. I once started an internet-campaign to help. Click here!

ASKED THE KING TO REDUSE NORWEGIAN OIL PRODUCTION
Since we had to leave Tuvalu because of climate change caused by the use of fossil fuels I started a campain where I asked the king to convince the Norwegian government to reduse production of oil. Click here!

NORWEGIAN NEWS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE!
Since year 2000 I have daily published articles from Norwegian newspapers on the internet about climate change and climate politics in my Klimanytt (Climatenews). Click here!

"THE WORLD OUTSIDE"
"-What was that, Frankie? Gunfire? Bruno put down the beer and looked surprised at his friend. - Ah, just the regular crap on the news, the cops putting away some of those blasted `truders, Frankie mumbled uninterested without turning his head, his eyes were glued to the topless waitress while his fat fingers were playing with some coins..."
