About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my time here, meet many new interesting people, travel ;)

ABOUT ME

I'm generally easygoing and whenever I'm hosting someone, I'm also trying to show that person the 'other side' of the city I'm living in (currently Copenhagen) - as long as my working life lets me :)
Open minded, spontaneous people are welcome, and if you're into having some nice drinks with other people/ CSers or like off-mainstream music, we'll probably have a nice time together :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life's a big experiment :)
One can make it more exciting by travelling around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We spent 24 hours in a Ukrainian train (3rd class!) at 40 degrees, with a toilet being out of order, screaming babies, people eating fish and throwing the waste and baby diapers in the corridor, as the waste container was completely full. After 2 hours one of my fellow travellers found a bottle of Vodka in his backpack, and that saved us from caring about personal hygiene. I enjoyed the shower afterwards a lot ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I could get some inspirations for future crazy trips from others?
