ABOUT ME

I'm a teacher. Not only when I teach, but also when I do not. I love working with children.
I like to read
I love to travel - meet new people and take pictures.
I run in my spare time, and I like to go hiking.

Copenhagen is always very popular, especially around the holidays and many people want couch time. The number of requests is quite remarkable.

Generic messages will meet a horrible end.

I look at couchsurfing as a cultural exchange and a way to make new friends. I have an extremely busy schedule and I know many couchsurfers are also on tight schedules. But I would hope we could have a drink or a meal at least one night during your stay!

PHILOSOPHY

I hope to be able to give other people some of the knowlegde I have been fortunate to recieve. I would like to help my pupils to be as best prepared as they can be to meet life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hitch hiked a lot, and the experiences I have had hitching around have all been very giving. It has opened my horizon.

Three times I walked approx. 1000 km of El Camino de Santiago in Spain. It was a wonderful experience. Spain has a special place in my heart

My first marathon in Copenhagen was a great personal achievement. It was an amazing feeling to cross the finish line.
