About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in Denmark so I can finally offer a couch

ABOUT ME

I really want to be a Viking, so then I came to Denmark. Apparently they had some great holidays about 1000 years ago in the country I was born in, so now I'm doing the same thing here. Well, not exactly the same thing.

PHILOSOPHY

42, to see the beauty in life in order to not be a slave, slightly hungry right now, maybe thinking about lunch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I pretend to participate, but then I get bored of spending hours at a screen. People say I have a good heart though, and I guess thats all that really matters. How much do I have to fill in this box again?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed a few times around the place, but I really would like to properly experience how this is done before i get into hosting people.

Interests

bare feet, cooking in strangers kitchens, the way flying insects bang into windows, dark bread with seeds in it, australian animals, incredible cliches, squid, awful awful jazz, bicycling in the UK, some peoples bizarre attitudes, fresh limes, nothing to do with politics, inventing reasons to mess around, lying on soft materials under stars, drunkenly kissing popular people

David Cronenburg,
Francis Ford Coppola,
Peter Jackson,

...possibly more

Would prefer to make my own music, I guess thats something to work for...a goal! I listen to anything imspiring in some way. Normally rock, but I have been known to download rather random things...like Lithuanian folk singers.

Top 5 (no order):

Muse.
Rachmaninov.
Pink Floyd.
Rage Against the Machine.
Queen.
David Bowie. (genius, genius man)

And Frank Zappa.

And most of the classic Power Ballads, naturally.
