About Me

CURRENT MISSION

approach life with a sense of humour

ABOUT ME

Easy going and generally very fond of life and other people. I completed my environmental studies a couple of years ago and have spent a fair amount of my student's life abroad including Canada, South Africa, the Philippines and Panama.

I enjoy just about everything outdoor (kayaking, sailing, diving, running, cycling), am very easy going, generally not very good at making long-term plans and try to enjoy life as much as possible...

One could describe me as being
social - especially enjoy live music, festivals, party time, well-served mojitos and cosmopolitans, etc.
connoisseur - love good food; cheese, wine, quality coffee, etc. and enjoy cooking as well.
serious - have been engaged in a variety of campaigns and studies on international development, environment, natural resources, aid&debt, etc.
humouristic - at times very sarchastic, but often a very good way of breaking down barriers between people

PHILOSOPHY

try to enjoy the moment you're in right now instead of being too concerned about the future. Be considerate and make an effort to learn from other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a number of very good persons visiting my place in Copenhagen and enjoy meeting people this way; showing generosity and learn from foreigners. It's great to hear other peoples' stories, when I don't have the opportunity to travel myself...

Interests

most things outdoor, such as nature, kayaking, sailing, fishing, diving, photography, etc. I've travelled many places and enjoy meeting new people, settling in different places, exploring other cultures, etc.

I have studied environmental issues in many parts of the world, and therefore like all related topics such as politics, resources, cultural studies, etc. In general, I have many interests and do what I can to enjoy life with as much fun and adventures as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

vast and many, will have to think this over...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Learn - Share...I'd like to learn much more from people with another approach to life than myself.
