My name is Cecilie Fredsgaard I'm 20 years old and currently on my second gap year after high school.

I spend my first gap year living in Chapel Hill, NC working as an au pair. I spend my last month traveling around the states with a few girls and it was here I got started using Couchsurfing.

My second gap year has been spend upgrading my physics, traveling Asia for a little over 3 monts and working in home care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I think it is a great way to experience new places and meeting people from different cultures. Often when traveling you end up seeing what every other tourist before you have seen, I hope that staying with someone who actually knows the area will help me get a better idea of what that places really have to offer.

Interests

Reading, watching movies, eating out, seeing new things, being with friends.
I generally love new experiences and meeting new people, which is also why I am backpacking and one of my many reasons for becoming an au pair.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I will watch pretty much anything as long as it's in good company.

Books: I looooove reading! And I read pretty much any genre! I just finish 'Better', by Atul Gawande and I am loved it (would definitely recommend it!!!) now I am reading 'the Cuckoo's Calling' by J. K. Rowling.

Music: I don't often listen to music when I'm home (the shower being the exception), but in the car the radio is always on - Karaoke Time!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning about other people's view on life and their culture and I love sharing my culture with other people as well!

I love a friendly debate about pretty much anything, because I always feel like I learn something new, wether we agree or not is not important there is always something to be learned.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a very happy and energetic person and I hope to share some of my previous travel experiences, culture and happy self with you.
