About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, see the world, meet new people.

I am currently too busy to host anyone :( . Hopefully that will change!

ABOUT ME

I am a 29 years old. My greatest lack in life is travelling, and I hope I will be able to do it some more in the future - if I get the time and necessities! When traveling, I love to learn about a country's history and culture: what has shaped it and the people who live there. I love to experience the countries through my senses: seeing its nature and cities, drinking it's beverages, eating its food and meeting its people.

I am a curious guy, who is hard to offend, but easy to impress. Sometimes I feel I ask to many questions about seemingly non-important things, but in my head they are important:) .

I am currently looking for my place in life - maybe you can inspire me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As far as I can go.

I want to host because I want to give back what has been given me of good experiences and low cost travelling. I don't mind if people say that they just use couch-surfing to keep travel expenses down. I think it is important to help each other to see the world, and that couch-surfing is an amazing opportunity to practice an alternative to mainstream travelling. So, please feel free to take advantage of my warm room and hospitality:)

Interests

I have a wide range of interests, and I think it is hard to narrow it down. I've studied philosophy for four years, so that it of cause an interest. After my switch to African Studies, I mostly do conflict studies - my book shelve can be a little freaky, but do not worry: I study it for the a good cause :)

Besides that I like gardening and playing music. I have a garden in Copenhagen that I would be happy to show:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Do you have to do something amazing? I think we should get back to just being ordinary...

Teach, Learn, Share

All good words in the danish language stems from Jylland, i.e. 'traels' and 'fesen' and 'fee'

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a wide range of things: hospitality, good knowledge about my country and its politics, and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I can offer some cheap ways to get around and experience Copenhagen. I can take you to alternative places, and I can help organize further travel in Denmark.

I will no, though, take you to classical places like the little mermaid or the queens castle. Feel free to go there yourself though. I expect a certain level of independence from my surfers. It is really important that if I say that you can stay at my place, but I do not have time to hang out, I do not have time to hang out. Eat my food, sleep in my bed, ask me for advise, but do not expect me to be around. I will make that clear before we make a deal: all I ask is that you stick to it :)
