About Me

I'm a 21-year old Danish guy who wants to meet people outside my little personal space-bubble. I'm specially fond of good, long talks that I only have too few of. Writing and reading is important. As well as to laugh often. I have a great interest in everything that can give me a better idea of what it is to be someone or something, both in the trivial and the extraordinary. Therefore: Talk to me about everything from litterature, religion and philosophy to football and politics. Looking forward to meet you :)))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I see it, anything I write here has to be a cliche, but anyways; Travelling and meeting new people(culture to culture) is two things that in my opinion should be inseperable. Couchsurfing is such a great way to get in touch with the real life and culture. This is what I want for both myself and others, and also why I'm on couchsurfing!

  • writing
  • running

Music, Movies, and Books

I love indie music with its twist into rock, electronic etc. but am a patient and happy listener of most music.

The films I really enjoy watching are films that combine a sharp form with a good and interesting message like "A Clockwork Orange", "Birdman" or Danish Vinterbergs "Festen" (check it out, it is avaliable with subtitles). I've also just recently watched a Norwegian documentary called "Brødre", which is really cool :))

I think that literature is important. Litterature is a privileged place, where we're open to ourselves and the world around us. Blanchot: "I write, therefore I am not" and in literature everything is something else. While reading and writing, we see ourselves from the outside and the inside, at the same time.

Favourite authors: Kierkegaard, Knausgård, Celan, Kafka, Inger Christensen, Proust.
