About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dreaming of great places to go

ABOUT ME

I like to have a smile on my face, thats just because someone once told me "smile to the world and the world will smile to you" - in fact it actually works. At least everywhere I went so far.
But what makes a person?
I guess the people around him, so the people around me are creating a young openminded fellow who's allways interested in experiencing something new, something weird and remarkable. I love to meet new somehow likeminded people, but also strange folks, as long as they have something special.
I moved to Copenhagen in 2010, now I'm studying here, taking lectueres in nanosciences. Kind of fun, but I miss travelling.
2009/2010 I spend a year of travelling in Canada and a bit in the US, I'm still stunned just while thinking about all what happened.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy?
Something is changing all the time - theres nothing I want to stick to, while missing out a part of experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed some couches already in North America, I will try to spread this Community to the right people whereever I go. During a period of living in Edmonton I attended the monthly CS meetings and a few potlucks, which always was amazing.
I'm looking forward to host people at my place in Copenhagen, and be the one having a place to stay for travelling people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a bunch of couches, attended great CS meetings, met so many great People around at every place where I went.
I kind of hosted two people when I had a van - actually we were just travelling together. But it felt like couchsurfing :)
In copenhagen I had a few Couchsurfers, which was great!

Interests

Traveling, meeting new interesting people and all the places in the world!
Open my mind to new or different things.
Hiking, the outdoors and the summertime.
I live vegetarian enjoy cooking and baking eating and drinking.
New to me is photography, I like it just for fun and it compensates for my bad pictured memory.

Music, Movies, and Books

Open to the world, but I really love electronic music such as goa. I enjoy Rockn'Roll and Jazz or blues a lot too. I'm kind of drifting around all the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Work & Travel in Canada, where I somehow did more travelling than working.
Late night in the hot springs near Tofino.
West Coast trail in 8 days, including whales dolphins and a lot of rain.
Driving across Canada up north in the Yukon and down south in the US to Idaho. I put 20000k on my car when I sold it in Ottawa.
Sitting on my cars roof in the Yukon during the night, thousands of stars and a glimt of the northern lights.
Hitchhiking in eastern Canada, staying at strangers places, sleeping in parks and under bridges.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about you, youre a person I haven't met and you'll give me what I need.
I'd like to learn spanish, but how to start?
I want to share as many experiences as possible.
I'm ready to share everything what makes my life the one it is.
