About Me

Born into Couchsurfing before it had a name, people from all over the world stayed at my family home. I'll trust my references to give a fair impression of me. If you read them you can also figure out my name ;-)

I believe we best help shape ourselves by being challenged by new people and experiences. So challenge me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend introduced me to this way of life. My first Couchsurfing-adventures in Japan was a big surprise and an addictive change to how travelling could be.

You need helpful advice on anything related to Copenhagen or Denmark. Give me a shout. Hosting is travelling without moving. I provide a bed, my take on Copenhagen and my company.

When I surf I try to find hosts that have time to do more than just provide a bed. I look for people with stories to tell, experiences to share and adventures to be had.

Couchsurfing is a 'friending'-site, not a dating-site.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Too many to mention. Currently reading Neil Gaiman.

Movies:
I enjoy alternative drama, horror movies (that don't cheat with cheesy jumpscares), sci-fi and japanese/Korean cinema.

TV:
I'm a better/funnier person because of Black Books, QI, Weeds, Futurama, Firefly and Twin Peaks. Currently I'm enjoying Lucifer, Sharp Objects & Stranger things.

Music:
I don't do genres - I just like good music :) Latest additions to my playlist are: Tool (finally!), Big Thief, Jada, Alvvays, Lowly, Tove Styrke.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Total solar eclipse on a desert hill in Botswana.
