About Me

I study Engineering. I have a bachelor in stustainable design and are currently doing my master in Design and Innovation. My studies are focused on products, technical systems, how they interact with the user and the environment around it. Basically I try to find design solutions that are more sustainable and better suited for the people using them.
I've done several different projects ranging from solutions for Roskilde Festival, shared cargo bikes, shared workshops, sustainable clothing practices and much more. Allways feel free to ask!

This summer i'm going for 5 weeks a EU programme called Climate KIC. Therefore ill be going to Bologna, Munich and Leoben (Austria)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy meeting people from different cultures, and believe that the best way of experiencing another country is together with locals.

Last summer i went bike touring for a week, using a platform similar to Couch surfing, called Warm showers. It was a great experience, so im excited to get started here as well.

For the time I live in a dorm with one room and a shared kitchen with 14 others. So unfortunately I have no room for guest, but I would love to meet up with you and share some of Copenhagen.

Interests

I love listening to and playing music. I play acoustic guitar, and love to sing as well, so I would not mind to jam a bit.

I Iike being creative. I like upcycling old things, and give them a new purpose by turning it into something usefull.
I recently started a small company with my brother called GodTid (Good Time). In GodTid we are upcycling. For now we are making som things out of old discarded books. Check out our website for Pics - its www.god-tid.dk (sorry but it's in danish, but then again its all about the pictures 😊)

I like shopping in second hand shops, and I basically buy all of my clothes there.

I am christian, and i am attending af charismatic church part of the Vineyard community. My faith means a lot to me, and I've been investing a lot of my time in social work within and out from the church. I Always think it's interresting meeting people with different belives, and respect how others view the world. I am open for any questions, or we could talk about something completely different 😊

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, and believe that you can find great music from all different kinds of genres. I listen to everything from Frank Sinatra, over daft punk, to Marvin Gaye or Miles Davis.

I'm a big fan of Christofer Nolan's movies (Inception, Batman, Dunkirk etc.) I'm not a movie expert, but I do like non mainstream movies as well as some hollywood movies. I love movies with a twist in the plot like in, Old Boy or shutter Island.
And of course Lord of the Rings, Starwars and all the classics!

I don't read too many books, but of my favourites in fiction i can mention Lord of the Rings, Narnia, all quiet on the Western front. 1984 and the animal farm.

One of the most inspirring books i've read is An iresistable revolution by Shane Clayborne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
