About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding my 'true north'. Asking around for a compass.

ABOUT ME

This is a hard one, but probably that I'm hard to pin down in a sentence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meet, talk, learn, try, dance, walk, play, ride, sing or swim and now surf!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted and surfed lots, before I got on this CS thing, but now I'd like to be official about it.

Interests

I like different languages, surfing, paddleboarding, trees, hiking, exploring social and urban histories and finding out what makes people tick.

Music, Movies, and Books

Danish movies, especially with Mads Mikkelsen or Ulrich Thomsen in them. Books about journeys and travel. Currently reading 'The Checklist Manifesto'
A lot of music from West Africa and Central Africa; current favourite is Staff Benda Bilili and their song Je t'aime

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stood infront of a lion about 5 metres away, in a game reserve without bars inbetween -- but I was 4 at the time.

Can teach tennis, would love to learn photographic and lifesaving skills.
