ABOUT ME
I am 24 years old and have travelled quite a lot and lived in many places. Recently, however, I decided to settle down a bit and am now in the process of building up a beautiful permaculture farm in the countrysite in Denmark. I'm very involved with the permaculture movement in Denmark, and have been active in many different environmental and social NGOs.
Beside the farm I work a bit in a Steiner kindergarten and do some yoga and then I play in a very nice klezmer/ balkan inspired band in Copenhagen where I play the guitar and sing.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I see Couchsurfing as a great way to meet open and friendly people from everywhere. It opens the doors to everyday life where you go. I have been couchsurfing a lot myself in Europe and South America, and in Ghana, in Spain and in Turkey where I have lived for a longer time in one place, I have used it to meet new friends and get local advice. I have also been hosting people in Denmark and participated in Couchsurfing events. This page is truly great
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started doing coughsurfing in the end of a travel in South America. I was intruduced to it by a friend I met during the travel. I made a profile and found my first host in Bogotá and from the first moment I loved it. Some of the most amazing people I ever have met have been through couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love folk music, klezmer and balkan tunes as well as any kind of traditional or local music. But I also like jazz, rock and classical music. But most of all I like to play and to share music from different countries.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I lived a month with an indigenous family, the Tsachillas, in Ecuador. They kept their original tradicions and made traditional dances and painted their hair red with some special seeds every day. That was amazing.
Another amazing thing was to live two months in Norway in the nature without using money at all travelling around for the money we made playing music and on peoples goodwill. We played music on the roof of a car, we forgot time and days and sang everywhere we went
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you something on the guitar or speak about permaculture. If you know Spanish I would very much like to practice mine. And I would love to learn more about spiritual practices and alternative views on life.
