About Me

One bag traveling the US on my way to Central America, looking forward to meeting new people on the way!

Spent most of the last ten years of my life living in Taiwan, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, before moving back to Denmark last year to work with my parents. An opportunity presented itself for me to travel without a backstop, so I took it and now I'm on my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to couchsurf my way through the US and in Latin America as much as possible. I haven't done it before and think it'd be a great way to meet new people and see the places I go from new perspectives.

I'm mostly couchsurfing with friends from university but make an effort to attend couchsurfing meetups in the cities I visit. Where I can't find friends, I hope to stay with couchsurfing hosts.

Interests

Love sports of all kinds, hiking and being in nature. More than ready to walk a city or a mountain. Enjoy reading and learning, conversations and board games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my previous employment I co-developed a curriculum about the Chinese digital economy and livestreamed classes from the HQs of Alibaba and some of its subsidiaries. Some of them I hosted in Chinese.

And this trip I'm on now.

Insights about China, chatting about politics and the world. Love to play boardgames.
