About Me

I am openminded and curious. I am reflective, creative and energetic. I enjoy traveling and widening my horizons damn much! An aspect of my life I would not be without.

I finance my adventures by teaching or at least trying to get a hold on this profession..

I enjoy music, wine, food and conversations about life

PHILOSOPHY

I like learning. I like gaining knowledge. I love being on the move and it is important for me to gain knowledge of the world around me. I find a deep interest in cultures which I don't understand immediately.

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily - not to dare is to lose oneself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate with a very nice couch and a donation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Plenty. In Denmark, Germany and Spain

Interests

My greatest passion is music - I have a very wide musictaste which reflects my curious nature I suppose.

Have been travelling a lot and it is a very important part of my life! I love doing sports, as well as I love drinking wine and eating (and cooking) food.
