About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Understanding other people and cultures better and in that way also understand myself and my own society better.

ABOUT ME

I watch too many bad tv-series. I like to be impulsive even though I am bad at it, and therefor surround myself with impulsive people, hoping that it will rub of :). I like to eat breakfast in bed when I'm alone and get goosebumps whenever I watch a really good film or see good art or hear what I feel is the perfect song. I am not politically active, but I can have strong opinions about the society I live in. I'm in love with my boyfriend and Copenhagen.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in sharing in a broad sense. I believe in sharing thoughts, meals, ideas, paying taxes etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a new member on the website, but I have had friend's friends from other countries staying with me and like to show people the city I live in.

Interests

Culture has always been my main interest and it takes up very much of my time. I have a BA in comparative literature, so reading and books are important to me. In my free time I organize literary events with my friends. For the last couple of years I have been working part time at the Danish Cinematheque and love to watch films, both new and classics. I have studied art history and visit art exhibitions when I have the time and once in a while I like to hear live music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
