I'm a 24 year old guy, born in Copenhagen, Denmark. I spent most of my early childhood in a small picturesque town in southern Sweden, but as I grew up I became semi-acquainted with the Danish culture and language as well due to living in Denmark for a few years. I am currently enrolled in college in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people where I travel, and by doing so, gain a better foundation for embracing and partaking in different cultures.

Interests

In my leisure time I derive great pleasure from reading. I read all kinds of stuff. My appreciation of novels and the written word coupled with the urge for a creative outlet has resulted in me writing a lot as well.

In addition to this, music is very important to me and I sing and play guitar as of a couple years back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the spring of 2011 I went rafting down the Buffalo river in northern Arkansas. Due to a severe storm and the fact that rain had been pouring down for a couple of hours we had initially been recommended to hold off with our trip, but after some hesitation we were allowed to take off. Due to the risen water levels, the currents were really fast and our raft kept getting caught in rapids because of the consequent difficulty in steering. In addition, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking and I've never felt closer to the untamed wilderness than I did then.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm somewhat of an accomplished guitar player (at least when it comes to 60's American folk) which is something I'll gladly share with others, both in terms of playing but also to teach the potential novice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can hopefully offer thoughtful and stimulating conversations on different topics, as well as my aforementioned guitar playing, should a guitar be around.
