About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel all around the world before I get too old

ABOUT ME

I was Born in Denmark but I grew up in Bogota, Colombia. I don't speak Danish at all since we moved when I was 1 year old. I now live in Dallas, Texas

I'm currently a full time graduate student at UT in Dallas. I'm a digital/3D animator, and graphic design artist. I attempt to play the piano and clarinet; attempting and actually playing are two very different things. For the time being, I work mostly in freelancing, I have my own tiny animation company.

I'm not a very spontaneous person. I seek knowledge as much as possible and that makes me a very cautious person. I tend to be introverted but I do enjoy the company of others. I have liberal views.

I'm Building a model roller coaster in my room. I like roller coasters.

Here are some links to my work. Enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Realist... not entirely an optimist but not entirely a pessimist. Fun times make life worthwhile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My doors are open to anyone who wants to visit Dallas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've recently joined Couchsurfing and so far it has saved my life countless times. I just got back from a trip in Europe and I found the couchsurfing community to be a great companion not only because I had a free place to stay but because I got to meet local people who really know the culture. This way you really get to know the city you are staying in.
