Hey there, Captain Redbeard here!

Let's keep it simple! :)
- I'm really down to earth, like to go on hikes and be in active in general. However, I always enjoy a good movie or book.
- Occasionally, I act being a proper photographer with my iPhone with nature being my muse.
- If you want to have a "look behind the scenes", check my Instagram: @fotofogt.
- I also do outdoor videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQaLaEHZNRxgGVfXA6o0X2A
- I share a super cosy flat in the very heart of Copenhagen, 5 minutes from CPH Central Station, with my childhood friend, Frederik

I like to meet all kind of people and learn their stories, experiences, ups and down,s - it is all good to me.

I'm somewhat fluent in English. My mother tongue is Danish, but always keen to learn new sayings from other languages. Maybe I can teach you some proper Danish :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- Was told it was a cool way of getting around, meeting new people and get invaluable local knowledge on the places I'm going.
- To offer something back to a nice community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

NORWEGIAN MIDNIGHT SUN PHENOMENON:
- This one time, a buddy and I set off for 10 days of adventure in the Norwegian wildernes...
In the end of the trip, we camped on not-so-permitted area (whoops) on Mt. Fløyen, a mountain with it roots in inner Bergen, a city on the west coast of Norway... only to experience the midnight sun phenomenon. It was such a intense experience; like time stood still. It was magic; like the works of some extraterrestrial beings.

- If you wanna see for yourself, the midnight sun can be seen in the end of this video I made from the trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2jfLrc-6Fc

(THE REDHEAD IN THE VIDEO IS ME) :)

Teach, Learn, Share

- Danes have a special word - "hygge" - for that cozy feeling of togetherness. It means relaxing in great company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very flexible.
- If you're in the lets-go-out-and-grab-a-beer-at-the-pub kind of mood, I'm down for it.
- If you're in the lets-chill-at-home-and-play-some-boardgames kind of mood, I'm down for it.
- If you're in the lets-go-on-a-hike, yeah, you get the idea. ;-)

- I am really honest and open person, happy to share stories and experiences, new as old.

- I am also genuinely respectful towards privacy and "alone time", and thereby really good to keep my self entertained with a book or a stroll through the woods.

- I also do videos and photography on a very amateur level, but it is always fun to share memories!
