About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be brave and at least once in a while do something that will all most make me s...in my pans!

ABOUT ME

Hi everybody!I am 45 and work as a specialteacher in a school here in Copenhagen. I live together with my son who is 18 and in college, and our dog Futte who loves long walks in the park, well luckily for him, I do too so..!I also enjoy reading and meet once a month with my book club to discuss books, poetry and various subjects that follows. I have been on many lovely summertrips along with my son and my friends. There are so many places that I would like to see, and Im thinking that with this form of travelling I can do that and meet local people, and get to know places in other ways than as a typical tourist. I would also like to host other couchsurfers, or at least show them around in wonderful Copenhagen! I reckon' Im good company, im young at heart and mind, openminded and long for adventure in my life! Im looking forward to meet you out there!

PHILOSOPHY

It's never to late!
Life is what happens when you are busy making plans!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This summer I hosted for the first time. A young student from Amsterdam. He and my son are the same age, so they got along fine and had two fun days together.
I went to Cuba and was hosted by a nice lady that I found here on couch surfing. And that is my experience with couchsurfing so far!

Interests

music, film, books, art, citylife, beachlife, meeting with friends and travelers, running in the park with my dog, swimming in the ice-cold water in the springtime in CPH. and many other things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Harlem to visit and old Jazz diva, who holds concerts in her living room every sunday afternoon - it was sublime and the atmosphere was simply magic!

Teach, Learn, Share

I take dance lessons every thursday night, so when I go to Cuba I can dance salsa with the locals! I would really love to learn Spanish and to play the guitar! My son plays saxophone, guitar, base, and drums! So when people come here to stay they can do a little jam session! In my spare time I run, do yoga, read, paint, and sing in a gospel choir.

Cuba, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States
