About Me

I'm Danish, or Canadian, hard to choose! Grew up abroad, moving every couple of years. Then I went on vacation in Denmark, and after a little persuasion from family and friends ended up staying, with just one suitcase and the clothes on my back. Now I've been in Copenhagen three years, and feel like I've found my true home. I'm enthusiastically trying to be a real "Dane", but my wanderlust and curiosity about new people is still there. Love to meet interesting open-minded people, share strange stories, and go exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me it's all about meeting the people where I go. That's what travelling is for me. Making memories, surfing and hosting.

Had some great experiences as host and surfer with members of this site in the past. Finally, I make my own profile.

Interests

Nature (Hiking, biking, skiing), travel (duh), trivia of all sorts! Love museums. My dad worked in a Museum, so I spent entire days around, in and behind the exhibits.

My dogs. Bilbo and Meadow. They are in Canada with my parents, and I miss them. Huge hairy, clumsy goofs. <3
