About Me

I'm living in a flat in Aarhus with my girlfriend and I'm having a good time studying at the university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because its nice to meet people and learn about the world. But to be honest its also because it can feel so pointless to spend fortunes on expensive and soulles accommodation when travelling. I am hosting because i want to give the feeling of hospitality that i have experienced myself to others. Thats a really great feeling.

Interests

I spend many hours of the week in Aarhus climbing gym climbing around on walls with plastic holds screwed into them. If that sounds like a stupid activity to you, you should try it out yourself. And if not you should still try it out. Also i sometimes go on trips where i mainly just walk on pathways, or on snow with skis under my feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to tie a double-figure-eight knot or how to make a diachronic concept-historical analysis of whatever concept you would like. All i know is that i dont know anything, so you will also be able to teach me all sorts of stuff, and i would enjoy that.
