// we are currently renovating our flat, so we are not able to host people. When we're done however, there will be more space for surfers! //

Hello!

I live in Vanløse, in a small apartment with my girlfriend Louise, my daughter Nova, and our cat Olivia. The apartment is conveniently placed very close to the metro/subway, so it's extremely easy to get into town.

As a host I am uncomplicated and relaxed, and expect that you have your own plans, as both Louise and I are usually occupied with a million hobbies, work or studies. I'm an IT consultant (quality assurance and testing) and Louise studies Law at the University in Copenhagen. I will thus not be able to entertain you every day of your stay, but if I have the time, I'd love to cook for you, talk about your culture or just show you how everyday stuff is going on in Denmark. The least I can do is to help you with finding the right trains, buses and tourist-attractions, and I might even be able to show you around sometimes. We do not own a car, and you honestly don't need one in Copenhagen to get around.

I enjoy couchsurfers, history, interesting beers, science!, cheese, chocolate, herb plants, a bit of autonomy and alternative cultures, as well as doing as much as possible at the same time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The bottom-line of it is, that I've tried myself to be stranded in the middle of nowhere, insecure and desperate for someone to take me in the hand and say: "Now this is what you can do, and what you shouldn't do here".

My time is limited, but I can open up my home to strangers and hopefully give them a sense of how Denmark and Copenhagen are working.

I've hosted several couchsurfers, and tried couchsurfing two times. It has been lovely, and I really enjoy the experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feeding, riding and bathing (almost got crushed under) an elephant in Nepal. Absolutely wonderful. Not the crushing-part though. But it was fun afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an avid medieval reenactor (the Scandinavian and German period around 1450-1490 especially) and obsessed with historical costumery. The historical influences on art, clothing and literature is a never ending treasure trove to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A positive mindset, a strong love and interest for exploring local food and beer, a deep understanding of the Scandinavian world, and I might be able to fix your computer as well ;)
