About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring other parts of the world, other people, and the other within myself

ABOUT ME

I'm from Denmark where I live with my Canadian girlfriend. I'm doing doctoral studies on social movements.

I haven't had the chance to explore the world of CS so much yet. My limited experience, however, has been great so I'm looking forward to new ones to come.

I'm in constant pursuit of this 'personal description' and hopefully I will never reach it completely. Isn't this unreachable description what makes life enjoyable, challenging, and worth living? I will pursue it with an interest in all the things unknown to me about this world, you, myself; unknown people, places, things, ideas, practices, food, music, cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

'The unexamined life is not worth living' - Socrates
