About Me

I don't know what to write here when everything I wanted to write is coming up. So I'm a girl who grew up in Greenland. I have lived in different towns here, however I only really remember Nuuk. My parents took my brother and me out sailing every weekend in the summers since always, so I am very much an outdoorsy person who can handle getting dirty from work. I am pretty calm, I prefer a night in talking or playing a board game over a night out partying. I always take an opportunity to travel or meet people of different cultures, so I did an exchange in Québec in 2011/12 and I attended a United World College (Pearson) for my final two years of high school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and seeing new places, and couch surfing gives me the opportunity to do this with fewer expenses and with more cultural exchange.

Interests

Reading, writing, hiking and biking. I like helping with cooking, although I don't cook a lot. Learning about people, their culture, and their way of living their everyday life really interests me, as I believe that having a wide range of these experiences will help me in psychology.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mostly rock-type music such as Scorpions and the like, but I love Marina and the Diamonds and Lana del Rey.

Movies: Not a big movie watcher, but I mostly enjoy movies with comedic elements, so from Love Actually to Prince of Persia. I also really liked Lucy and Now You See Me.

Books: The Art of Racing in the Wind, The Martian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to get into Canada without a passport (yes, there is a backstory to this).

Teach, Learn, Share

Enlighten, understand, exchange?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very easy to have a conversation with, so I can either do small talk or offer my insights on various aspects on life. I also really enjoy sharing my culture and information about my country, and I know some Greenlandic folklore and history that you can't necessarily find online or in guide books. I am also a decent cook, so let me know if you want me to make you a very mediocre reindeer lasagna (without the reindeer).
