About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet more fun and nice persons.

ABOUT ME

Easy, outgoing, talkative, shy, social, smart, down to earth, underplayed, naive, happy-go-lucky, empathetic, quiet, thoughtful and resillient are some of things I think my friends think of when they think of me.

I'm sure it all depends on the situation and that there's lots of other stuff to be said.

PHILOSOPHY

To have fun for as long as possible and not take things too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm not with my girlfriend in France, I'm usually working, so for the moment I'm not so active on CS..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted in the beginning of my CS-career, but lately I've neither had the time nor the space to welcome any guests. I've recently started to surf couches with my girlfriend.

Interests

In short chemistry, music, movies and photography.

In details I'm a phd-dropout high school chemistry teacher, so I have a long holiday that I don't always know what to do with, except for going to Roskilde Festival.

I like hanging out with my friends (who doesn't), but I also like meeting new people. I like doing new things as long as they aren't dangerous - see I scored as Piglet in a Pooh-personality test.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the (my) first concert every year at Roskilde Festival usually gives me a sense of 'yes, this is right, everything is right, this is why I'm here'.

Oh. And one evening sitting on my balcony smoking a cigarette, realising that I have the perfect job and that I love my students (sounds corny, but it was a great feeling).
