About Me

I am a curious, creative, positive, outgoing person, not afraid of meeting new people and almost always up for an adventure! I'm trying to get as far around the globe as possible - and would like to meet you too 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I simply enjoy meeting new people all over the world - i believe the best way to travel, is learning from- and sharing experiences with the people you meet on your journey.

Interests

I have a lot of different interests - i write and perform poetry slam (mainly in danish though, but i do perform in english too). I love hiking, playing videogames and creating all kinds of things. And of course, travelling is one the things i value most - i have been interrailing around europe twice, hiking and travelling around both USA and Japan. So, speaking of interests, i'm sure we'll find something to talk about 😄

Music, Movies, and Books

Books that i read, some that changed my mind:
- The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
- Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari

Kasabian, Archive, Massive Attack, Arctic Monkeys, Bonobo are among my favourite musicians. I enjoy most of Haruki Murakamis books, and recently read Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari - can recommend! Breaking Bad, True Detective, The Wire and Game of Thrones are my top four tv shows. And finally, i'm a huge fan of Nolan movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During september-october 2018 i walked the Camino de Santiago, 48 days, 1000+ kilometers. Also i won a semi-final in the poetry slam world cup in Paris in 2016.
