About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bucketlist #23: watch a Bollywood Movie in India

Bucketlist #102: Watch a robot-fight in Tokyo, 2016

ABOUT ME
I’m a sociology student living in Copenhagen, Denmark. So I’d always be up for discussing a little bit of Marx and Foucault. Or other stuff.
I’m quite easy-going. Like the rest of you lot, I like to meet new people and whatever they have to offer.

I’ve travelled a lot and exchanging tall tales over red wine is usually an unquestionable recipe for a success. Being Danish beer is also considered ok.

I am very interested in the culture scene of Copenhagen, and wherever I go, I’d love to experience a little bit of the underground culture if possible. I used to read a lot of literature – now I mainly read non-fiction and watch Netflix like an adult. I excel in tacky taste when binge-watching TV-shows.
I tend to get really excited about music and film.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is an awesome way of meeting cool people, and get properly introduced to a place. One of the best things about CS is the cultural exchange. I like to see and experience more quirky sides of a city, which CS is great for.

Interests

Meeting new people while travelling, reading a really good book, cook bad food (yes, I am a bad cook - but when I do succeed (which is relatively rare) it is semi-good), listening to music, my friends, eating home-cooked pizza while watching a really bad movie at my parents', barbecuing in the Summer, trying to be cultured and social, learning new things (could be anything really - I am very openminded), dancing (contemporary ballet), walking and discovering new things that was oblivious to me before.
