About Me

Dear reader, this bio is at least 4 years old from the old CS but I think it still explains me pretty well.

ABOUT ME

Words won't do me justice. You will have to meet me away from keyboard to truly understand. But for the time being, all you have to know is that I am half-Danish and half-American, I seek new experiences, I plan to do a lot of travelling in the months to come.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a duality to everything, the cliched ying-yang. But it is not only good-bad, it is nature-nurture, set-setting, positive-negative. Our perceptions are so very limited, and our thoughts and actions so governed by emotions, that the one thing we all must realize is the existential parable of the individual creating their own reality. Life is like a psychedelic experience - if you enter it with the wrong thoughts, and in the wrong place with the wrong people, you will most likely have a bad time. But if you adjust everything positively, which is clearly within your capacity, you will have a much better time. And that's the pinnacle of reality - experience. I am not advocate of solipsism, but there is no ultimate thing to do. Just do what makes you happy, as long as you don't harm others. And you shouldn't harm yourself either.

I think everyone should eat way more fresh vegetables.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting people. I also don't like the industry of lodging for people who want to explore the world. Couchsurfing is still alive!!

Interests

I am interested in a lot of things... Such as emerging scientific theories, the opposition of established dogmas in science (such as Rupert Sheldrake or Hamza Yusuf), ethnobotany and shamanism, psychopharmacology, "critical thinking", and I am always interested in learning new things and people teaching me new things. I hope to pick up programming and chemistry one day.

Music, Movies, and Books

So very many. My favorite genre at the moment is rub-a-dub, although I have listened to many genres through the ages. Movies - I love Tarantino, but I have also seen so many that I think deserve high praise, among them Harold and Maude, American Beauty, Fargo, Half Baked, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting the most niche people on earth. Living in some exciting countries. Meeting people I barely know randomly halfway around the world from where I met them. I will tell you more when I meet you.
