About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn new languages and new cultures. And I also want to learn how to spear fish.

ABOUT ME

Hi everybody!
I'm 35 years old and living in a shared apartment in Nørrebro, Copenhagen with my girlfriend Frederikke and 3 roomies - Tajs, Maria and Bodil Signe. I currently work as a teacher for young refugees. It's an awesome job!
Recently, I have also been working as a tour leader i South Africa and China, but now I have settled down a bit here in Copenhagen.
This is obviously not all about me, but look further down and you'll get more answers (:

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to other people, share what you have and what you know and dot forget to eat good food...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The main objective is to meet people from all over the world. I would like both to host and to couch surf myself (on surfing at the moment though).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mainly done couchsurfing on my bike trip in the Balkan countries. It was an awesome experience… Also, I did some couch surfing in south America with my girlfriend - once again; awesome!

Interests

Football (playing and watching), cooking, human rights, Tibet, politics, travelling, running, cross fit, socializing, tennis, biking. And my newest interest - free diving and spearfishing. And then I'm into triathlon and did my first Ironman august 2016.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm, I like all kind of movies. Sometimes movies are entertaining, educating, exciting - at other times, they are the best mean to fall a sleep. I watch movies for all these reasons...
I'm no big musician, but I'm easily entertained - rock, pop, gypsy, jazz, and reggae will usually do the job for me.
And books.. Hmm, at the moment I read nelson mandelas biography. I usually read books to prepare myself for my next trip..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking from Sarajevo to Sofia through most of the Balkan countries. Doing my dive master in Honduras and spectacular cave diving in Mexico. Coordinating a successful fundraising project for a Danish NGO. Visiting Tibet where I experienced one of the worlds most interesting cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wow, this is interesting (but difficult though).
On a practical level I can share: cooking skills, Danish and Chinese language skills, Danish humour. And I can teach you that human rights are fundamental for our wellbeing (if you are not already aware of that)
I would like to learn: YOUR culture, your language and you as an individual (:

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking skills, laughs and hopefully a nice cultural meeting(-:
