About Me

Denmark born and raised. Master's student of Biomedicine with ambitions of a career in neuroscience.

Currently studying abroad for a semester at Caltech in Pasadena, California.
Not able to host myself as I'm living in university housing with strict "no overnight guests" policy - sorry!

Going on road trip to SF and Yosemite with my girlfriend Emily from May 13 to May 30

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking in several European countries - both with friends and on my own - in the summer of 2013. Visited Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. When hitchhiking I got to meet lots of cool people with interesting stories to tell, not to mention the amazing opportunity of seeing the world in a different way than I would have travelling the "normal" way. I imagine couchsurfing will give me the same kind of feeling hitchhiking did!

Oh, and being on a boat close to sinking halfway between Sweden and Denmark on my first (and last?) sailing trip ever - now that's a great story!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good fun, great company, cool stories. And food and beer, I guess?

I will also be very happy to teach hosts Danish phrases - but be warned: I will probably laugh at you attempting to say "rødgrød med fløde". If so, please feel free to ridicule me with foreign phrases which I can't pronounce!
