About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life - travel when possible

ABOUT ME

I´m a danish sailor who have just gone ashore. I wan´t to give my son (9 yrs old) and myself some more time together.
I have been in many parts of the world sailing in the merchant navy and the military navy. I have been working as an officer in the Royal Danish Navy since ten years ago.
Born in the South of Jutland (Denmark), lived/stationed more places in Denmark, Faroe Islands and Sweden. Today I live in Sweden, as the mother of my child is Swedish.

You have to enjoy your life, doing as much of what you like as possible. Minimize boring stuff:)

Music, Movies, and Books

What do you like to watch, read, and listen to?
- The most. I watch films, news, sports, series. I read all different kind of books - and like if they have a historical twist.
All kind of music is on the stereo. Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Opera; more or less everything. I´m very open minded regarding music.

Sailing in very bad weather? Crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a fullrigger? Parachuting? - Shooting? ;) Doing concerts? Becoming a father:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share a lot of knowlegde about my country, Denmark - especially Copenhagen. I know something about classical music - more then many others:) I can tell you a lot about life at see:)
When I visit another country, the culture is very important to me. Their way of living, their concerns in life.
