About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting funding for a PHD! Busy times

ABOUT ME

Here in my 30's I find I haven't traveled enough at all! So before I get settled and all I need to come around in the world, for as Goethe said: "Only he who knows the world, knows himself!!"
I like to meet new people, dance and hear music that moves me in one way or the other. I sing a lot if i can get away with it :)
I am a Physician and have worked different places in Denmark and Norway. Right now I am back in CPH - for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and have fun while you can.Difficult to combine that with my current work schedule though...

You are your own ongoing project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am far to busy to be able to host. I barely have time to see my friends anymore. Hope that times will change again.

In 2008 I hosted people non-stop in Summer vacations. However, my roomies got tired of this so I had to take a break. Now as I am living on my own I have lot's of space, but not quite as much time for hosting as before.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted different people in 2008 and in 2010, and it was a blast! Me and my roomies had such a fun time :)
Surfed only twice yet, but this is also proved to be a good experience. The hospitality was overwhelming both times.
