ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going business student/food enthusiast/beginner surffer (and I mean the sports you do in the water with the board :D). Currently I'm a graduated bachelor traveling Asia on my own after which I will start a Masters program in denmark in the autumn.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to pursue happiness in this world. There are so many ways to be happy as there are people on this planet and I'm living my life by trying to be as happy as possible in my current state. Sometimes you need some extra to be more happy and sometimes just sitting in your balcony while the sun is shining does the thing. I always want to say yes rather than no.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of the new experiences and people this way of traveling offers. While traveling I always want to get to know the culture of the country, even during short visits. I want to do what the locals do.

Special mention: I really enjoy trying local cuisine! Cultural exchange at its finest is to feed each other our favourite foods :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies, music makes me breathe and books makes me wiser. I like European movies, comedy and drama. I'm quite a big fan of watching movies but don't have a favourite one.

I like soul music, hiphop and rnb as well as bit of house and techno music played by good dj's

My favourite books are informative books to study or classic novels to dive into to relax

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went backpacking to Australia for a year. That was life changing in so many ways.. I was working, travelling and absorbing the culture as well as meeting the greatest people in my life.

Also, I did my exchange semester in Sweden, Karlstad in Autumn 2013.

Currently pursuing a long time dream to travel Asia alone.

Teach, Learn, Share
