About Me

I'm an energetic, optimistic, positive, tidy, bubbly and curious woman, aged 27. Based in South London where I live with my fiancé, Mads.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My MA is a nordic collaboration between four Scandinavian universities, and therefore I am travelling a lot for lectures. To save money and to meet interesting people, I am using Couchsurfing more than hotels.

Interests

I'm working as a Freelance Dance Artist in London where I live with my fiancé. I've been living in London for the last three years, but am originally from Denmark where I lived a large part of my life as well as at the Faroe Islands. I like to travel, hence I commenced the MA in August 2014, which takes place in all of the four Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden for those of you who don't know your Northern European geography) called the Nordic Master of Dance Studies. This leads to me to why I'm on Coach Surfing! Bingo - I'm looking for places to stay a week at a time during the intensive modules in Copenhagen, Tampere, Trondheim and Stockholm.

Other than engrossing myself in the philosophy, ethnography and anthropology of dance, I love to perform which I do regularly with a couple of dance - and theatre companies. I work with an Italian Dance Artist where we research and make our own work, which we tour with - nationally and internationally. I am also training in aerial circus arts on a one year diploma.

When I'm not in the studio dancing or doing yoga, when I'm not performing or with my head stuck in a Dance History book, I love to make and enjoy champagne brunches with my fiancé, catching up with friends who lead equally hectic lifestyles over good coffee, gardening (sort of) on my roof terrace, running (half marathon no 3 coming up...), learning new things be it a new dance style, a language, something gastronomical (as I love food!) or fixing my bike. I cycle everywhere, even in London's busyness, and generally put health, fitness, and an organic and healthy lifestyle at top - mixed with good wine, cheese and a sweet wonders in good company.
