About Me

I live in Copenhagen and work in HR. I love Copenhagen. If you haven't visited yet - do it, do it!

As soon as I get the chance to have some days off, I always go traveling. My most recent trips has been to visit my brother in Norway, my sister in Beirut, and before that I went hiking with friends and mules in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

When I'm home in Copenhagen I sing in a choir, occasionally dance lindy hop, do some yoga and go to concerts, visit theaters, go rollerblading, biking (as Denmark has no hills) etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the fact that Couchsurfing is about getting to know other cultures from the inside and not just from following a guidebook.

And also, I absolutely enjoy getting to know people living in the country I'm visiting, rather that just sightseeing.

Interests

Traveling of course :)
But besides that I love music and have been singing since I started walking. I also love skiing and other winther sports.
I've taken quite a few lessons in swing dance but also like salsa etc.

And then I just enjoy talking and talking and getting to know and understand different people

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all sorts of live music and enjoy attending different music festivals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been living in India for 4,5 months, which was extremely eye opening.
One night I was sleeping under the stars in the dessert in Jaisalmer with a friend and having a long chat with a local Indian who never went to school and who never had seen anything but the desert - yet he spoke fluently English and was the happiest man I've met in a long time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you fake-burping or weird sentences in A LOT of languages.

As I work in HR I can also help you with your CV and tell you what not to say in a job interview.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thought about life, politic, love, music, languages etc.
