About Me

ABOUT ME

I am Danish/British and live in my old hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark. I have lived in Switzerland for 7 years.
I see myself as a real life-enjoyer.
I really enjoy going out (MUSIC!), being with friends and trying new things out. Basically I enjoy being social and cultural whenever possible. Thats kinda what got my excited about Couchsurfing in the first place.

PHILOSOPHY

Like I wrote above. A real life-enjoyer.
I believe that people should do whatever the feel like as long as they don't infringe on other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I started out as a surfer. And it was such a positive experience that I promised myself that I would return the favour to the world by being a hoster when I had my own place. Other than that I donate every now and then to CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best experience I had with Couchsurfing was when I was travelling with my friend in Belgrade, Serbia. We had arrived in Belgrade on the train, not knowing where to stay or what to do. We finally got to a PC and someone had replied to our request that we had sent only the day before. Before long, we had been picked up in a car and were at the lake, enjoying two cold beers and some MUSIC. And for the next two days, it was one cool experience after the other and we were treated as kings by our host and his friends. We were very sad to leave and it most certainly left a lasting impression on me.

Interests

Pretty much everything.
Everyone says films, sports etc etc. Those are a given.
I enjoy things that other people enjoy. In my experience, anything can be enjoyable when it is experienced with the right people.
But if you must have specifics I would say that I am more into:

Going out. Either going to bars or clubs or just a movie. I try to get out of the house at least 2-3 times a week.

Sports. I play squash twice a week and do crossfit 4-5 times a week.

I play guitar and a little piano (and have both in my home) and really enjoy creating MUSIC.

Internet/Social media/Websites/Gaming

American Football has been a passion of mine for some time, but I stop playing a year ago due to a serious injury.

Podcasting. Podcasts help me commute to and from work.

And pretty much anything a bit nerdy and geeky.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy pretty much any kind of MUSIC and movies. Sure, I have my favorites, but I still enjoy watching a crappy movie now and then, just for the hell of it.
Same story with books. But I enjoy classics such as Animal Farm, 1984 or The Lord of the Flies. But Macbeth or Julius Ceasar are also works I enjoyed greatly.
