About Me

Hey!
I am aspiring anthropologist (still in university); I am doing an exchange programme at the University of Washington until summer 2019. I'll return to Copenhagen in autumn to finish my studies.
I take classes at the Department of Dance and Dept. of Anthropology at the moment.
I travel frequently, but I am trying to lessen my flying around....The last country I visited before coming to the US was Morocco, where I did a one month field research in Tangier.
I love dance, musik, photography, good food, hiking, fun bars with good cocktails (or beers) etcetc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had some great couchsurfing experiences while travelling in South East Asia. I always find it interesting to stay with locals or expats when travelling because I get an other perspective on the city or area I'm travelling to. I've used Couchsurfing a few times while travelling in Europe, and it always proves a good experience!

I wish to keep exploring and travelling using couch surfing and when I have my own place to stay I'd love to have travellers staying and showing them around wherever I live - now Copenhagen from August 2016.

Interests

I keep finding new interests; some of the more persistent ones are yoga, meditation, exploring new places, learning, speaking different languages, reading, running and taking pictures. A newer one is modern dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed the Thorung La Pass with three other strong and independent women while trekking the Annapurna Circuit - without a guide and all. It was quite an unforgettable experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts
