About Me

I'm a positive person who believes that being nice to people and help them is the way to go.
I'm not allergic to anything. Yes, I'm extemely priviledged.
I really digg linguistics and how you use the language. Danish, as an example, is a quite peculiar language. We say some weird stuff sometimes.
I try to stay positive and not to judge people. Sometimes you do stupid stuff but maybe there's a reason for that. So I really don't mind what you've done, as long as you're nice to people around you.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to enjoy language. I simply love hearing people coming from Liverpool, Norway, Germany speak. I also find the many dialects of Denmark exiting. I can imitate some of them (there's a lot)
I live for the sound of humans, and the existence of others. And to help the poor bastards once in a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to meet strangers from all over the world. I love cultural exchanges, and I love opening my house to people who need it.

Interests

I also like writing short stories and I would love to make some more film stuff in the future. Oh, and linguistics, but I think I explained that already.

And just messing around, doing stuff. I'm good at that. Not so good at cleaning up afterwards, though. I can't cook, but I'm willing to try at least!

Music, Movies, and Books

Film
Paradies - a trilogy by Austrian director Ulrich Seidl - filming is just really interseting and observing
Children of Men - incredible filming
No Quiero Volver Solito - sweet short film, from Brazil. The feature version is called "The Way He Looks"
En forelskelse - very awkward. Watch it on youtube, it's called Awakening in English.

Books:
Harry Potter
Afdeling Q
De gale
Mannen som elsket Yngve

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking on Iceland from Landmannalaugar to Skógar, that's a 80 km walk. Most amazing five days ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

When we meet I will make you say "Røgede ørreder". I bet you can't.
Try and find something in your language for me to say.

I want to share experiences with cultural norms and differences. It's funny how something nice can be considered rude in other countries.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge of languages.
Recipes for Danish desserts.
Fun drinking games (every Dane is secretly an alcoholic)
Creativity.
