About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Is to reach all the continents before I turn 25 and have fun at the same time

ABOUT ME

I never travlled outside my little Denmark before I was 13 years old and I went to Tunsia, there I discovered that the world is not like what I had seen back home.
After my two years of studying at a UWC school in Norway I went around the world in different ways; backpacked in the middle-east, sailed across the atlantic in a little sailing boat, island-jumping in the Caribbean, went on an expedition-ship on Iceland that sailed to Greenland and Canada, back-packed from Venezuela all the way down to Argentina...and much more :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that the world would be a better place if everyone knew the person next door. I believe that knowing the past is the best way to know the future and I believe that the media is the way to change peoples look on the world, Hence I want to study photo-journalism.
