TIPS:

as the saying goes, when in denmark do what the danes do.

Ride the bike every day, everywhere, Hang out at parks, (Assistens kirkegaard, Valby Parken, Kongens have, are some of many good parks)

We actually have some really nice beaches, go to Amager Beach when its warm and sunny.

Drink beers on the streets.

The bohemian area is Nørrebro, lots of diversity there, cheap bars and food, and interesting communities (Not to be confused with Nørreport)

The little mermaid is a trap..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to exercise my intuition and trust in complete strangers.

I want a world where someone from the opposite side of earth, is treated the same way as if he was a neighbor.

The whole world can be your backyard if you vibe with it.

Everybody has a story to tell

Music, Movies, and Books

"education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." - WB Yeats

I used to keep these lists of my favorite things—songs, movies, books, all that stuff—like everyone else does, right?

But then I thought, what the fuck am I doing? I mean, seriously, why waste my time categorizing this stuff like I'm curating a fucking museum exhibit in my head? .. So now, I just focus on whatever happens to be on my plate —whatever life chucks at my face. The real, raw stuff. Those moments that aren’t all wrapped up in neat little packages to be replayed or re-experienced on demand. You know, the good stuff that hits you right in the gut when you least expect it.

I've been playing around with this idea, that the more you try to capture an experience—like squeezing it into a photo or writing it down in some journal—the more distant it feels. Like, the more you cling to it, the more it slips through your fingers.

But hey, if you know of a book, movie, song, or piece of art that’ll fuck with my brain, tickle my heart, or give birth to bold ideas —I’ll give it a shot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2009 I dropped everything in my hands and went on a solo-trip. I was offered one one-way train-ticket to Paris, one day in advance, I took the leap. Ever since, I have loved traveling alone. I backpacked for 9 months alone 2012.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share ideas, stories, laughs. We can meditate, explore, jam with instruments, play games, bike around. I'm happy to learn about almost anything. Whatever passion you may have, I'd love to know more about it.

Some fields that I haven't explored much, but would love to learn more about are:

Photo art,
(doing projects, with modeling and settings/scenery)

Film production
(Doing aesthetic shortfilm)

Event management
(gathering people, promoting the event etc)

Acting and performance arts
(acting out a good story, transmitting a wide variety of emotions to an audience, expanding comfort zone performing for larger groups)

I'm interested in the art of almost anything really.. not so much the art found in museums tho
