About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people from all around the world, learn about their culture, try their cuisine and get to know myself better at the same time

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small isolated place called The Faroe Islands. It's a great place to grow up, but as I have grown older, I have been longing to go out and explore the world. I have traveled somewhat around in Europe and parts of Asia as well as Brazil. I lived in London for three years and now I have been studying and doing my PhD for four years in Berlin .

I am very fascinated by the human body and genetics, and therefore I'm currently doing a PhD in the area of Molecular and Developmental Genetics.

I am a curious person, always trying to be open minded, as well as open about myself. I am very interested in a lot of things and love meeting people. I always try to be positive about everything; I find that you get further in life that way.

I love reading a good and stimulating book, the same with films. I enjoy walking around and about outside and ocationally to jump into one of the many lakes in Berlin (also in winter) or the sea anywhere I can.I drink a lot of tea, I love eating and trying new types of food and dishes. I get very excited about fishing, and try to go a few times during the faroese summer, when the waves are not too large (I get easily seasick and find it very unconfortable when the boat is rocking to hard). Equality and equal opportunities in life is something I feel very strongly about.

Well, that's a little about me. Write me if you want to know more:)

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the same way you want to be treated.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes
