About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be culturally open-minded; When cultures physically meet, prejudice has a tendency to leave!

ABOUT ME

I am born and raised in Esbjerg, and apart from a 6-month exchange programme to China, I have lived here all my life.
Most of my family are locals too.

At the moment I study tourism at the university of Southern Denmark in Esbjerg, and I finish my bachelor in the summer of 2008.
Besides, I am a keen golfer in "Breinholtgaard Golfclub", the course is app. 10-15 km. from the centre of town. I have played for about 10 years now.
Furthermore, I use a lot of sparetime to play and record music with some friends of mine in an amateur-band called "M & M" - we have lots of fun playing stuff like Dylan, Springsteen, Petty, Oasis and much more! I am the guitarist, and after a couple of whiskeys we all share the vocals (just imagine!)...:-) ... We are the proud owners of an album selling around 100 copies in the local area, - give us 10 more years and we have a platin-selling album!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans"

- John Lennon said that, and as a remark to life I find it quite useful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being open-minded and interested in other cultures I give my share of personality to creating a community with similar interests.
A community where the shared human values, are the foundation for different cultures getting together. Cultural understanding!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I still have my first surf to come!
Hopefully, when school is out this summer I will find a couple of couches in Europe as part of an Inter-Rail trip I am planning....

Interests

I enjoy music, sports (I keep in shape by running), books (when I pull myself together), movies, singing, summer, traveling, my friends, creative people, beers, redwine, The Glenlivet whisky and weekends (because that's the time when most of the mentioned things happen ;-))
