About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find balance

ABOUT ME

Im a tall and skinny man who grew up in Copenhagen.. I Have a big family and many longtime friends, plus short time enemies...I spend a lot of time drawing while listening to music. I enjoy beer and wine while smoking cigarettes and talking. I like to read books and write stories and staying awake in the night.
..And when im home im usually eating.

At the moment im working on an independent series project with two good friends of mine, this takes up most of my time outside work but the night hours are still free for drinking.

PHILOSOPHY

Theres always time, as long as you do something. You can learn something from everybody - even idiots!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I can, and the take breaks from it, back and forth like that.
I dont really participate in any of the gatherings, I guess I just kinda leech of a good idea, but i do tell others about CS in a positive way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Generally when i travel, i prefer not to spend money on accommodation, I feel like i can crash anywhere really-plus when you stay with people you get a sneak peak into the private, and sometimes weird life of strangers. I like to host people for the same reasons.
I havent stayed in a hotel for many many years.(edit) exept when I got bumped off on my way home from Buenos Aires and i stayed at this crazy empty shinning hotel-talk about creepy!

Interests

Drawing, writing stories, riding my bike round the city at night, drinkin beers or just getting wasted in general, playing football, music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music comes first - always.. I like to read semi autobiographic stuff, mostly american, french and german literature. I just started on some scandinavian stuff..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on the darkened roof of a tall building at night. watching out on the metropol from above..looking, listening, smelling it all in.
lived in africa from years 6 - 8, and have returned many times since. Amazing place.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always look for that balance.
