CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently traveling from the North Pole to the South Pole. A two year expedition, consisting of ships, cars and bicycles...

ABOUT ME

32 years old. Traveling solo. Left Denmark in July of 2009 - from here the trip went to the North Pole on Icebreaker and cross canada in an old van. I got tired of riding indoors, and sold the van for a bicycle in Seattle. This has been the best thing that has happened in long time! :) Reached Antarctica in December 2010.
Back in Copenhagen I make a living working with documentary film and art photography - currently showing with galleries in Denmark and Germany. My work can be viewed on www.adamjeppesen.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been surfing on and off from United States to Antarctica

Interests

Well - this is a difficult. Music seems to occupy allot of my time as does cooking, reading novels and working with art. Despite hating to admit it, in fear of sounding like a retired old man, I've found great joy and relaxation in working in my garden back home. Hence having spent two months recently in Canada working at a farm, mainly tending to the animals though. Haven't owned a TV for 10 years - not missed it one day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attacked by killer bees in Ghana...swam in minus 2 in Antarctica, and night diving in the Soloman Islands with fluorescent algae.
Enchanted Valley, Washington and the Icefields Parkway in winter...
And the sunset on a beautiful summer evening in Copenhagen.
