Overview
About Me
Tall, pretty tall. 200 cm :) Im Danish all the way through to the bone. But I am also a Global citizen. Im cheerful and down to earth. I hitchhiked across the southern part of Africa from Tanzania to Namibia and back again. Climbed the Kilimanjaro along the way. Went diving in Lake Malawi with dolphin fish. Fell in love with the continent.
PHILOSOPHY
Empathy is the single most important characteristic for any person. If you are able to put yourself in someone's place, you are able to understand them, and understand what is important to them. Use that knowledge to make better judgments and decisions regarding both your life, but also those around you.

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything with Quentin Tarantino when it comes to movies.
Music? Changes a lot, right now I cannot stop listening to a Norwegian DJ called Kygo.
I had Lord of the Rings read out for me as a child, and I think that book just stuck around as my favorite. Lately Murakami has also done the trick for me.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbed the Kilimanjaro. Reached the summit just as the sun was rising over the slopes. No words.
Hitchhiked across Africa from Tanzania to Namibia and back again to Mozambique.
Biked around the temples of Bagan in Burma.
Walked the Great Wall in China.
Teach, Learn, Share
Economics. I could walk you through the basics. Same with finance and strategy. Also I enjoy taking an enlightening discussion about the current world events.
