About Me

Adventerous and humble medical student :)

I love traveling the world and meeting new people! The summer of 2015 I went on a solo backpacking trip, where I visited 15 different cities in Europe. Although cliché I must say that travelling like this has taught me so many important lessons about myself. Most importantly the ability to be alone.

I've met so many amazing and interesting people. Many of whom, I didn't want to leave. However, they will forever be in my memory.

The hospitality and kindness that I've met along my travel, has exceeded my wildest expectations. Thus, like many other fellow couch surfers, I would love to return this favour. Also, I've come to realise that coming back home was much harder than leaving home. Hopefully by interacting with people around the world, I can still keep my passion of travelling the world alive.

Two things are important to say though.

1) If you plan on partying and drinking a lot during your stay then I am not the right person to contact. But if you love talking and engaging in deep conversations while watching the sunset with a glass of wine/beer/ tea etc., then I am absolutely the right person.

2) I would love to meet up with you! But only if its mutual. My passion is to meet and establish genuine friendships/ connections with people from all around the world. If your intention is just to have a place to crash without any/ or little interaction then I am sadly not the right person for you. If you are tired then I completely understand that you want to be left alone. Thats no problem ;)

Anyways here is a little bit more about me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Safari in Africa!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a very good listener, who is open to any type of person (or so I've heard ;) ) & engager in conversations

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship!

A person to talk with. I've come to realise after my backpacking trip that when travelling, you sometimes need someone to talk to. Not just anyone, but someone who will listen to everything you say with an openmind. I can absolutely be that person.

(I truly believe that one of the greatest gifts given to mankind is our ability to establish deep, genuine relations with each other. I do realise that some people like to be alone, believe me, I do at times, but when we have the energy and capacity to be social, we can create beautiful relations. Relations that are either transient or long lasting. Doesn't matter. Because they lasts in form of memories throughout our entire lifetime. These relations is what gives value to my life. )

This is what I can offer:

I can show you copenhagen, (having lived just a bit more than half of my life in DK) and tell you the reflection of me in the different parts of the city.

I can be an open person to talk witj. I will listen to you. I will be curious. I will tell you about my life. And last but not least, I will accept you for who you are.
