About Me

I am a positive and thoughtful person, who is curious on the world and all its wonders. I love to immerse myself in all kinds of projects; Both playing music, creative ideas, photography, reading and writing, cooking, long distance running, and I have now thrown my love to travel.

But in fact, I have dreamed of traveling since I was a little girl, and because I finished school back in Denmark, I have decided to take a couple of gap years (or actually I just started my third gap year) to fill my backpack with experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As described above I have a thirst for new experiences and for widen my perspective on the world and ways of living. I understand Couchsurfing as a great way to get in touch with local cultures and see life as it is lived in reality. This is important to me because meeting people for me is the only right way to experience the country I'm visiting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I try to keep my mind open to most kinds of music, and I enjoy to play music myself ( even though I can only play a bit on the guitar and the piano). Though I cannot help myself falling in love with The Beatles, Frank Ocean, Ásgeir, alt-J, Björk, Mac Demarco, Hocus Pocus, My Bubba plus danish bands such as Balstyrko, Malk De Koijn and Bikstok Røgsystem.

For me reading is both a way to relax but also to get to know myself better. Therefore I enjoy everything from nice fiction like Harry Potter to classics like Kafka and Baudelaire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two summers ago (2017) I hitchhiked through the Balkan countries and back home to Denmark. We travelled for almost 5 weeks, and I have never tried something so amazing. We were met such a hospitality and the beautiful nature blew me away!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I have been a vegetarian for about 6 years (mostly to leave a a smaller carbon footprint) , I would gladly teach you some vegetarian dishes.
