Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate with my good natured being and good sense of humor.
I like telling stories and sharing experiences from past travels through pictures, videos and great acting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago an Argentinian man came to me, while I was working in a fitness center in my hometown. He asked if he could shave and have a shower using the gyms facilities, which I agreed to. Afterwards he showed me his scrapbook and told me about his travels. He had been bicycling around the world for 9 years traveling more than 150.000 km on his bike.
He had a place to stay that evening, but it was more than 20 km away. I offered that he could stay at my place for the night. He accepted the offer and we ate and had a good talk during the evening. The next day we ate breakfast together and he continued his travels. This was how my coachsurfing experience began!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have won the Danish national championship in kickboxing 5 times and the Nordic 3 times.

I have been living in Thailand for 6 months. I trained Thaiboxing 30 hours a week for 3 months and had a fight at the end of my training, which is most likely the craziest experience I ever had.
Then I went diving on an island called Koh Tao, where I became a PADI Divemaster and have since been diving and taking people out in the blue.

I have worked as a divemaster and entertainer on a 4 masted sailing ship (Clipper ship) for 6 months. Climbing the mast on the tallest sailing ship in the world was impressive and what a view, but the best time on the ship was doing an Atlantic crossing from St. Maarten to Dover, England. The journey took 23 days to complete only and the only land we saw was for two hours after the 10 days of sailing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am able teach in the art of the danish kitchen and would like to expand my own knowledge and learn about og the foreign kitchen.
I can teach you selfdefence (Hopefully you will never have to use it)
I am a CrossFit instructor: I can do some crossfit technique work with you or we could do a real firebreather workout together ;)
I am a Divemaster: I can take you out for a dive or two.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an excellent (vegan) cook, with knowledge of many different types of dishes from all around the world - prepare for a revelation!

I am a trained life coach and can help you overcome limiting beliefs and level up in any area in your life.

I know a lot about nutrition and training from my Sport Science studies and own interest in the subject. This information I can share with you in order to create nutritional plans, training plans etc.

I am a yoga, crossfit, boxing, kickboxing, forefoot runner and calisthenic instructor and can give you classes in any of the disciplines.
