About Me

I'm a young, danish travel writer and photographer who loves to travel and meet new people, explore new places, be spontaneous and just enjoy the world at my feet.

I love talking to open-minded people who share my enthusiasm when it comes to the endless possibilities that we're handed in this life.

I try not to get caught up in an ordinary life revolved around a 9 to 5 job. Life's too short to just have it be this pointless moneymaking venture - I want to stay curious, stay open to what this world has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a beautiful concept that allow people to show each other a little bit of unprofitable kindness.

I live abroad quite a lot, and currently don't have a long-term home, so can't promise I'll be able to host at the moment!

Interests

Photography, writing, drawing, creativity in general, MUSIC; I play the drums, piano, guitar, and I sing. Music has been a major part of my life since I was a baby, when my father used to play everything in between Mozart and Jimi Hendrix to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music. (Almost) everything in between old school rock n roll, blues, garage, jazz, classical, electronic house stuff, easy listening, hip hop, etc.

I've read a fair bit of existential philosophy. My favorite writer is Alan Watts. Thich Nhat Hanh and Eckart Tolle are favorites as well. Other favorites: George Orwell - 1984, J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye, Hemingway - A Moveable Feast, Benjamin Hoff - The Tao of Pooh.... List goes on

I'm a movie enthusiast, and I love everything Woody Allen, everything Wes Anderson, and adore Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation".. "Her", "Whiplash", "500 Days of Summer", "Birdman", "Little Miss Sunshine"....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled solo in Nepal, and stayed at a buddhist monastery where I received teachings in buddhist philosophy and meditation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography, danish, english, basic vegetarian cooking, how to play the ukulele, drums, piano... :-)
