Overview
About Me
'' Cheese makes everything better''
As far as life philosophies go, this one is as good as anyone. But more about me:
I am a very social and easygoing person, who is satisfied with little. I can be quiet if need be, but I do understand that couchsurfing is mainly about making new contacts :)
I can be amazed by the most common of things, therefore it is very very easy to please me. I am generally in a good mood, (try to be) funny and I really enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their life stories :) Travelling is for me the one thing that I want to spend all my money on, so I am very keen to see as many places as possible! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is for me the perfect way of travelling. No more staying in hotels and being secluded from the locals, couchsurfing makes it possible to travel around the world, making new friends in every corner of the world! And the people whom you've visited can then in turn visit you, and thus contacts are formed all around the world! For me, it's the perfect system to actually experience a country the same way as do the people living there. See with their eyes, feel how they feel, eat what they eat :)
Interests
I have a very wide variety of interests. I play the piano, I climb, play handball and really all kinds of sports, and I have a Open Water Diving licence :)
I like to read, fantasy aswell as classics, I go to theatre, ballet, I watch a lot of movies and series.
Most of all I love to travel, meet friends, go out, just have dinner with everyone. I seldom deny a new experience, so I'm really open to anything :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Favourite Music: At the moment, I really am into Muse, Arctic Monkeys, The Who, Limp Bizkit, The Beards, Blind Guardian, etc etc... Ranging from Rock to Classical music, I listen to a lot of different stuff :)
Favourite Movies: I enjoy almost all Tarantino Movies, then there's Butterfly Effect, The Prestige, the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, The Pianist, Shutter Island, Inception,some romantic Comedies like the Holiday, other stuff like Anna Karenina, ALL Disney movies!!! :D So much fun! and of course, there's Hayao Miyazaki!
Favourite books: I would say that Tolken and Oscar Wilde are my favourite authors :) of course Terry Pratchett, George Orwell and others too.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'm not really sure what part of my life could be classified as amazing. I think that studying in Sweden for a semester abroad is a pretty cool thing to do :) Other than that, maybe driving through the south of England, couchsurfing in Ireland, driving from Luxembourg to St.Petersburg, Russia... So much choice :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Walk through life smiling and being kind to people, and they will most likely return the favour.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer hosts (in my humble opinion) pleasant company, aswell as a very keen interest in anything regarding their country. I am a good person to talk to, simply enjoy a beer in a pub and have a conversation :)
Also, I really like to cook, and I would love to pamper my hosts with some self-made food!
Otherwise, it is just my humble company that I can offer!
