Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To have a fabulous summer vacation and to get a job when I'm done having fun.
ABOUT ME
I'm 19 years old and I currently live with my mum. I live in the biggest city in Denmark, Copenhagen, and I really love it here. I went to "Copenhagen Open Gym" and I've just graduated some months ago. I am a vegetarian and have been so for about two and a half years.
I have been a scout since I was 11 years old, and am now a scout leader. I love testing my own skills and courage and I want to experience all sorts of crazy stuff. I want to live in a village in Africa, be a skiing instructor in Italy, hike though Europe, sail with a training ship from Denmark to Spain and be a kindergarden teacher in Malaysia.
I hope that having a CouchSurfing profile will open some windows to the world. I hope to create some connections that will allow me to travel with the bare means of a student.
PHILOSOPHY
I think that people who complain about the rain are pussies. I mean, get some waterproof gear or live with being soaked! It is like the rain sucks the life out of people. I really think we should get over our selves and just have fun and be happy even though the conditions are crappy. Live your life, even at it worst.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have kind of couchsurfed in England, but I think it was a bit more organized than I imagine this being. I stayed with a family for three weeks for "free", and worked on the house as payment.
This Easter a friend of mine and I surfed in Berlin for some days, and it was AWESOME! I'm really into CS now =)

Music, Movies, and Books
I really love fantasy books and books taking place many years ago, like in the Victorian Era or the medieval age.
I like Ken Follet, Terry Pratchet, Phillip Pullman, J.K. Rowling, Star Wars alternative universe books, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the Earth's Children's books, and a little out of character for me: the Kathy Reichs crime novels.
My taste in movies are almost the same as in books plus I like no-brainer romantic comedies, like Love Actually and Juno. I like some action movies, but the storyline must be good. E.G. Leon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Lucky Number Slevin.
As far as music goes I think I'm an indie/folk-rock/rock/easy and realixing beautiful music/girl-pop-rock/alternative kinda person. I like the classics as Led Zeppelin and the Clash.
Folk-rock: First Aid Kit and the Rumour Said Fire.
Relaxing: Agnes Obel.
Girl-pop-rock: Joani Mitchell, Nena, Lily Allen, Tegan and Sara.
Alternative: CocoRosie.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know the binary hand system. Do you wanna know it as well?
I really want to learn to ride a unicycle, but I forget to practice.
