About Me

I like flowers. And shoes. And I like stories. A face and eyes that show there is a story to be told. I like people. I like colors in all meanings of the word. I cook simple but decent food. I'm considering to become a general practioner or oncologist. Blood doesn't scare me, neither does death. What does scare me is ignorance and intolerance. I like mountains and thunder. Mainly because it humbles me to realize my true size. Kindness and empathy have the same impact for the same reason.

Be silly. Be kind. And be honest.
That's a good start to any conversation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ever wondered how your hearing or smell work? Or your kidneys? Or something else in the body? I can explain quite a bit about how things work inside of you. Of course I can also share Danish culture and traditions.

If you can teach me some tricks about photography I would be thrilled. Some local cooking is also appreciated - if you can't do any of this, I'm sure you have something else exciting to share. At least everyone has stories to tell and I'm a big fan of good stories.
