Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had my profile for quite a while but never used it. Let's see what happens. I can't host people at the moment, but I hope to find a better flat soon to make that possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet.

Interests

- Languages and foreign cultures - everything from phonetics and grammar to history and politics.
- Ancient history and architecture.
- Politics, especially concerning consumer patterns affecting the climate and human and animal rights.
- I love cooking food that is both delicious and nutritious, preferably also organic and sustainable. I'm a vegan myself, but I don't want to judge other lifestyles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Perhaps my most breathtaking travel experience was seeing the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt and going inside.

On top of my list of most amazing things to do in the future is a trip to outer space (if it doesn't pollute the f*ck out of the planet).

Teach, Learn, Share

- Cooking and eating vegan food. I love to share, and I crave to learn.
- I love travelling to new places and learning about locations, the language, culture and whatever the locals do.
- I like playing music together with like-minded people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- My cooking skills
- Serious, clever, witty and silly conversation
- Anything you want to know about my native Denmark or other places where I've lived or travelled
