About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting great people when time allows it.

ABOUT ME

In few words; I'm a very curious person. That means everything new must be explored. I love studying languages, cultures , politics etc.

I work with politics in DK. I have travelled quite a lot. Before I worked with youth and LGBT-affairs, now mostly education and city development.

It's normal for me to be working/studying more or less from morning to midnight, but it gives me the freedom to sometimes go abroad and get smarter :)

In the long run I dream of settling down and have children somehow... ;)

Tengo muchas intereses; la politica, leer, estudiar lenguas, culturas - la vida.

PHILOSOPHY

If you care - you feel - you live
- I care about so many things that I tend to get too busy, but that's good living :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be open to suggestions, I like having guests and share what we have, when possible.

In general I'm just open to new experiences and I'm very used to live with different people from all over the world - starting back in 2007 with backpacking and volunteer-work in Guatemala.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great couchsurfing Summer in New York 2010 - got a lot of great friends and I'm very grateful for the great time we had.

Otherwise my experience ranges from:

Living with friends in little flats in Habana, Cuba.
(..and living in something like a brothel by mistake :(

Living with a family with 12 children in the mountains in Guatemala (wonderful children, wonderful family - horrible diet)

Living with a warm and nice family in Ireland outside of Dublin (attended language school there).

Sleeping on the concrete floor with other volunteers in countryside Mexico (I actually love that kind of living ;).

Boring hotels with work in multiple European countries.

As a conclusion I must say:
I hate hotels
I can accept dorms
I love living with friends
I'm crazy about living in a home with new people and perhaps get them to know a bit better :)
