About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life and hosting CS'ers, going to Berlin in May

ABOUT ME

I'm 24, studying at Aarhus University and useing all of my spare time playing and creating music. Beside music, I'm very interested in art, theatre, movies, cooking and reading good books.
I think of myself as a very openminded guy who loves to spend the late hours of the night discussing everything from music and movies to politics and the world situation today.
When I was 13 I moved to Iceland with my family because my dad got a job up there. We stayed there for 4 years and came back in 1997.
Since then I've been going to school in my hometown Aarhus, spending 1/2 a year in the cold mountains of Norway snowboarding.
At the university I'm learning how to work academic with the subjects I love (music, art, theatre, movies, litterature etc.)

I love to meet new people, wich is one of my main reasons for joining Couch Surfing, and would enjoy giving a tour of my hometown to anyone who would be interested.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that you should not live your life being afraid of the unknown or different, if you do, you will miss out on alot af great things. I think there is a dendency to this today, at least in Denmark, and in my head there can't be any possitive effect of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in the most central of Aarhus and have both a huge couch and a huge air mattress/airbed. Since Aarhus isn't the biggest town it's realativlely easy to keep track of everything thats going on Cultural speaking. Therefore I have many good pointers to what to do if you visit me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunatly no experience at all. I joined in in 2007, but for some reason, probably laziness. But now I'm finally ready to use it.

Interests

I have a very wide spectre of intrests, but the thing I love the most is playing my bas-guitar. Besides that I enjoy, movies, art, theatre, snowboarding, litterature, all of my friends and I just seem to love drinking beers and getting to know new sorts of beer. I loved to meet new people, and constantly haveing an open mind to things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a Börk concert a few years back, it was the most fantastic thing I have ever experienced! If you ever get a chance to see her live, do it, it's worth it!
Beside her, just going to Iceland, drive by car into the wilderness and feel the nature and silence overwhelm you, it's nothing less that amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

One of the things I think almost everybody, including myself, is to be more open to new things and people. The world is far to individualised today, less hate more love!
