About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ride a motorbike around Australia

ABOUT ME

The CouchSurfing website asked what my friends would say about me, so I asked them, and wrote their replies here:

A really good friend and a sweet boy, who is always ready for a festive event. Extremely helpful, and with the heart in the right place. In no ways judging or prejudiced, just a really good friend, and a nice person to be around.
Really good friend.
Crazy good ideas.
Sweet.
Cool.
Fresh.
Most ambitious cave man i've ever seen.
Practical.

I enjoy riding my bicycle in the streets of Copenhagen (especially during the summer months). I love creating different things in the company of my friends.

And here I will continue myself:
Well, that is what my friends think about me, but I'm not quite sure I agree. Don't get me wrong! I think you can always strive to become a better person than you are. And that's what I want to do.
I believe in karma, not in the way that if I give you something you give the same back, but if I give something, be that an object or not (but something positive), the world as an entirety will be a bit more positive, and it might not be me who gets something in return, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that the world is a good place for everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have much CouchSurfing experience, but I did it once in Australia in december 2012. I want to become a CS host as soon as possible.

Interests

Since I was 15 traveling has always been the main part of my life. However, at that time I was still at school, so the only chance to go traveling was in the summer holiday, and every summer since then was all about the travels. I have been interrailing twice (InterRail is a train ticket for every train in Europe). I love to meet new people, and see new places. I have a childhood dream of flying (I even tried to "learn" how to fly as childs play), and I would like to try paragliding. I also enjoy working with computers, and explore the endless possibilities of software and hardware. If you have a problem with your computer, or need a software solution for a problem, I will help you out with that, because I enjoy it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July 2012 I went interrailing. As a part of this, I went to the alps and went out hiking, and slept in my tent on the mountainside. Waking up with beautiful surroundings was an amazing experience, and realizing the greatness of mountains will stay with me forever. I went for a 4-5 day hike in the blue mountains west of Sydney, Australia. We got to a very magical place that I've never seen anything like before. When you travel with someone for a while, you get to know them better than anyone else, be that good or bad, and this level of knowing each other can't be found in many other places.

Teach, Learn, Share

For some time, I have been very interested in computer technology, as it is going to be used much more in the future. I'm not Bill Gates or Steve Jobbs, but I can help out with common problems. I am self taught, and I don't have a degree or anything, but I am willing to teach and I have a desire to learn. Sharing is caring!
