About Me

Fond of meeting new people with other backgrounds, nationalities and skills.

I possess a great level of tolerance, which I think is vital when you are meeting new people.

I love making fun with people and I use a lot of irony - so don't be offended if I piss around with you, I probably don't mean it in the way you think. I'm also very self-ironic so don't be afraid to joke around with me. :-)

Social situations involving coffee, beer or tequila tend to be the best ones - So cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is the perfect gateway to meet interesting locals that also like to travel. The way I use CS for the moment is to travel in an alternative way and to experience places that all travelers might not know about, because they don't have the advantage of living with a local.

I've had a lot of great experiences staying with members, and I hope to one day be in the position to give shelter to fellow-travelers

Interests

Most of my interests involve culture; I'm a big fan of all kinds of audio-visual media, especially cinema. I watch a lot of films and I am going to study film and media this summer (2017). I think the art of cinema has a lot to offer all of us, who are willing to pay attention to the feelings and messages it brings in all of its varieties.
Currently, my greatest goal is to produce something of meaning to others, a way for "my people" (read: villagers and proletarians) to come a bit closer to art, whether it's to explore or appreciate it more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oasis // The Doors // Björk // Tame Impala // Mew // Damon Albarn // Portishead
I am a regular at Roskilde Festival - it's one of my favorite places because of the music, the people and the parties - it's just outstanding!

I admire a lot of directors but some of my favorites are Lars von Trier, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick. They all have a special way of setting the scene.

Masterpieces: Requiem For A Dream // The Graduate // Mommy // Festen // Antichrist // A Clockwork Orange

Recently, I've found a lot of pleasure in watching series, such as Black Mirror, Taboo, Mr. Robot, etc.

Most of the literature I've recently read is scandinavian, including authors like Jørgen Leth, Dan Turéll and Karl Ove Knausgård.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013, I wrote and directed my own play, called NAT [RØD], in which I played one of the main characters. I made it basically because I was eager to act, but I slowly enjoyed directing more and more - Now I love it and wouldn't trade that for acting!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open for new things!
I love to share!
I would love to share my interests in art and introduce you to the music of Scandinavia - there's a lot of great things happening in the great North!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a festive type of person and enjoy to party. Be it said, I also like to just hang out, keep it simple, watch a movie, drink a glass of wine (or two). As a host, you can expect a tolerant and nice couchsurfer. I'm sanitary and also clean up after myself. At home I cook everyday so it won't be a problem for me to make dinner. I have cooked for hosts before to introduce them to dishes I like.
