Overview
About Me
It is essential for me to always keep moving and never sit in one place for too long . I want to travel the world and see a lot of amazing things that I'm sure our beautiful planet is full of.
My preferred methods of dealing with boredom are: going out with friends, hiking, playing the guitar (learning), running, watching some interesting movie or a TV series, reading a book, having crazy conversations with people or reading all sorts of stuff online. Also, I love cooking, learning new recipes and techniques, and "testing" it on others :) Aside from that, I volunteer at a nonprofit coffee shop/bar, which I really enjoy.
Getting out of my comfort zone has been a hobby of mine for the last couple of years, and so far it has been a very rewarding experience. I appreciate honesty and kindness in people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to see and experience new things, and meeting new people seems to be the way to do it. I am more than happy to talk to others and listen to stories they have to tell. I believe that Couchsurfing is a great way to get to know people from all around the world.
Besides that, I really enjoy exploring other cultures and learning new things from others.
Interests
Cooking, volunteering (at a non-profit coffee shop/bar), playing the guitar, traveling, meeting new people, watching movies/series; all kind of active things, such as hiking or working out, running, playing table tennis, basketball or volleyball.
If you manage to convince me that something is really fun I am gonna do it no matter how far outside of my comfort zone it is.
I enjoy learning languages and find it to be an interesting way to learn about other cultures. I hope that soon I can learn Spanish - partly by going abroad.
I also absolutely love watching the stars. And I really like mountains (partly because I rarely see them, Denmark is flat as a pancake).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went off the trail in Sarek National Park in Arctic Sweden along with a group of awesome people, which led to the most challenging and amazing adventure of my life so far. It included navigating through forests, tundras, mountains, swamps and rivers, as well as being away from any civilization and people.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to learn your language and will gladly teach you some of the ones I know.
I can also recite around 50 digits of Pi by heart and cook some nice food.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my experiences from travelling to Korea and living abroad for the last few years. I can also talk about the meaning of life and cook some tasty meals.
We can go for a run or a workout together. Finally, if you're curious about programming or some aspects of computer science, I am more than ready to share my knowledge on the subject :)
