CURRENT MISSION

Learn and live as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm trying to understand the world, or rather to understand, what's not understood about it as well as the limits of understanding. That's why I'm spending most of my time travelling and studying.

But also I find that you have to intervene and interact in order to understand, and that's why I'm doing projects - doing a community centre in Tanzania, as well as in Denmark, trying to raise another event such as the one of 1968.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to stay positive in personal matters, and be critical in societal matters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been enjoying peoples hospitality on many occations a long time before I learnt about CS. So I'd like to promote and enjoy organized hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Independently of the CS-homepage, I've been couch surfing (crashing at hospitable peoples homes) in New Zealand, Australia, China, and Norway.

Most exciting couch surfing country: Hitch hiking in New Zealand gets you invited home by the car owning people. Kiwies are spontanously CS-people, very hospitable.

I've also had people staying at my place - in Copenhagen as well as in Århus.
