About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Denmark and graduated from a danish highschool in 2013. Since then I've been working as a substitute, saving up to go travel in my gap-years. In 2014 I went on an Interrail-backpack-trip and travelled around Eastern Europe for 4 weeks. From March to July 2015 I'm going on my big adventure: A backpacking trip around South-east Asia together with my dear danish friend, Sofie.

I love meeting people from different cultures, being active outdoors, looking at beautiful things, hiking, eating colorful foods and talking about everything and nothing over a cold beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great chance to meet locals and get "under the skin" of a certain place when traveling. My best experiences when traveling has been staying with local people and seeing/experiencing a city through their eyes. By doing so, you experience the places you visit in a more versatile and diverse way - which I love!

Currently, I don't have a home, so unfortunately I can't host couchsurfers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking 50 kilometres across Sealand, Denmark, together with four people, with nothing but the clothes we wore and some water. We depended on the help we got from locals on our trip, providing food and shelter. "The walk" was a part of a campaign we did for the Danish Church Aid in order to put focus on refugees' fair when fleeing from their home.

Curiosity, open mindedness, humor, "down-to-earth-ness" and a general interest in getting the most out of every moment
