Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to meet new awesome people, and try to learn their language/accent!
ABOUT ME
I'm an easy-going 29-year-old screenwriter from Denmark. I'm a huge film geek who loves to travel and learn new languages. I play the piano and a bit of guitar and compose music when I'm not writing. I have a dream of circumnavigating the globe, which will not be possible without couch-surfing! I'm open-minded, curious, and easy to talk to.
PHILOSOPHY
"In this world you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant." - Elwood P. Dowd.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've couchsurfed across the US, Canada, Colombia, Mexico and also Paris. I've only had the privilege to host three times, because of my ever-changing living situation and changing room-mate politics. I'm currently in between places, but I hope to give back more in the future, once I have a place of my own.
Otherwise I'm probably always free to meet up and grab a cup of coffee/beer and show you around whichever city I'm living in when you're reading this.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted a few people in Ottawa and Montreal, but mostly I've been a surfer. I've seen couches in Paris, Toronto, Montreal, New York, DC, Atlanta, Austin, LA, and San Francisco.
I have documented my experiences in this road trip video: http://vimeo.com/54098163
Interests
I love movies. Making them. Talking about them. Dreaming about them. Video games too. Once you get me started on video games as an art-form I can keep going for hours probably!
I also play and compose music, love going to shows, and I'm a big history and language buff. I'm a dork. Head's up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I traveled through Eastern Europe by train from Copenhagen to Istanbul. Was beyond amazing. The best part was standing at the viewing plateau 1000 meters above the Transylvanian town of Brasov...most spectacular view I've ever seen.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Danish, and maybe a little French (if you speak little or nothing at all).
I can teach piano and guitar, if you want to learn. Or just jam with me.
I can cook stuff that's not completely terrible! How about some danish meatballs, or caramelized potatoes, or some Borani Esfanaj...oh my god I'm so hungry right now/always...
