I am Anders Bischoff.
I was born in Denmark in spring 92, the year when the Danish football team won the UEFA Cup, but for some reason i never came to like to play football.
I was born a traveling soul, and have been traveling in a lot of countries all over the world, and I seem to continue doing that.
I love playing music and have been playing music since i was a kid, and along with this performing art in general is one of my big interest.
I have a past in the Circus, touring Europe when i was 17 years old, and since that i have been living as a performer and artist.
I play many different instruments like, accordion, piano and guitar and I like traditional music from all over the world.

As a traveler I like traveling over land, and I enjoy very much meeting and staying with local people - To make friends and to feel the culture in the represented country.
I don’t enjoy taking flights so much, but more to cross borders on foot, take ferries, busses trains, and to hitchhike. My longest distance of hitchhiking is by now from Iran to Denmark, trough Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, and Germany.

As a person i like relaxing and spending time with other people, and i enjoy very much creative environments where people have a passion about what they are doing, or are having great dreams.
I dream a lot, and that i believe keeps the energy alive and the motivation in life.
I am impressed by people who share what they have with other people, poor or rich, it is a matter of hospitality and care. When i meet these all around the world, i get inspired to do something myself for someone else. When i do this i have a wonderful feeling of happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use couchsurfing to meet people and to keep a low budget.
The main thing for me is to meet people, because they define the culture in the represented country, and i enjoy investigating for cultural treasures in people, behaviors etc.
I also like making friends with different people all over the world, and i believe that it is important to make friends and connections all around to connect cultures, and prevent misunderstandings that could lead to war and other awful international disasters. For instance misunderstanding about peoples religious believes and intentions.

Interests

I am a sailor and an artist.
My spare time interests are music, sailing, circus and art, which is similar to what i work with. I am an accordion player, and I like to learn new music from all over the world. I also play the guitar and the piano, which i enjoy very much.
As a circus artist i am a juggler, and I also find acrobatic stuff interesting, handstands and partner acrobatics for instance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like traditional music, but it is difficult to say what i like the most.
When i want to relax i listen to Celtic cozy music, and when i am on the road i like listening to gypsy music.
I like to listen to simple music also, where you can separate the instruments, to get inspired to play something similar myself.

Movies i like: The Butterfly Effect, Fight Club (and i like a lot of cartoons too xD)
Series i like: The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, SpongeBob Square Pants, and Adventure Times.

Books: I don’t read that much, but like to listen to audio books.
