About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the most of it

ABOUT ME

28. Journalist. Based in my native Denmark, but probably not forever. Just started studying a master's degree to hopefully become a little smarter.
In my spare time I volunteer in the kitchen of a non-profit restaurant (Rub & Stub - check it out!), and I spend a fair amount of time hurting my knees while attempting to play soccer.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. There's no such thing as being too friendly, hospitable, generous, warm or loving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing in the CS spirit, I hope.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only one trip and a couple of hostings under my belt. So far! But those were enough to give me a great taste of the friendly and open people that inhabit this earth. I hope I'm worthy of their ranks. Looking forward to hosting a number of people this spring and probably hosting and surfing quite a bit in the summer.

Interests

Words, media, music (& music quizzes), films, food, obscure pop culture references, intertextuality, and cold beers with good friends, old and new.
I really enjoy cooking, especially when there are more mouths to feed than just my own, and I am trying to get better at it all the time.
Also, anagrams! And pandas.

Music, Movies, and Books

You know, the good stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one thing? Many come to mind: The Pamplona bullrun - actually mostly the raucous all-night fiesta leading up to the morning rockets and the glorious mixture of glee and fear it unleashes on those wet cobblestones.
Oh, and 24 hours of day in northern Iceland, watching the midnight sun kiss the sea and then just gradually scoot along before rising again - so cool!
And so much more - life is about these moments!

Teach, Learn, Share

If I ever host/surf with you I'd love to make my famous mushroom sauce!
