About Me

Hello! I'm always traveling either for leisure or work. I'm half Danish and half American. I've spent most of my life abroad. I recently got evacuated from Burkina Faso where I was doing two years of development work with Peace Corps. I have taught English in Hong Kong and Barcelona. Now I'm traveling and trying to figure out my life post-evac before trying to study a masters in Agroecology in the UK next year...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We got evacuated from Burkina Faso due to the threats coming from the war in Mali. Uncle Sam cashed us out and now I'm in the old world.
