ABOUT ME

Hi!
My name is Alberte. I'm a 21 year old danish girl, who finished school last summer. I've just begun my second gap year, and I plan to go to USA for a couple of months this fall before moving to Copenhagen.
I spent my last year in Paris learning french and working in a chocolate shop. I have many different interests, including music, theater, ballet, reading and drawing. I'm thinking about studying architecture.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is an essentiel part of developing yourself! An open mind, a possitive attitude and gratitude are important things to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to show you a bit of danish culture :) And I will definitely host in the future, once I get settled somewhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed before in different places in Europe with my friends (among others Amsterdam, Paris and Southern France).
I've always had positive experiences with couchsurfing. The best experience I had in a little town in France last sommer living for about 5 days with a family, who was so dedicated to showing us french lifestyle and comparing differences in culture and nationality.
