About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the most of it

ABOUT ME

Born in Denmark and lived there for 33 years, studying in Aarhus and working in Copenhagen.
Been in Zurich since 2009.

Easygoing
Prefers urban environment, but can also be persuaded to go on a hike if there is a bar at the end of the trail.
I like the color blue.

PHILOSOPHY

You make your own luck

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing, and always enjoy meeting new people at CS Events

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once stayed on the couch of a friend of my brother in Milan. I was supposed to stay with my brother, but he went home to Denmark to find the love of his life. Instead I had an awesome time experiencing the city with a local guide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El Mirador in Guatemala, a four day trek through the jungle as a hurricane passed the country. It was wet. Very wet. But also an amazing experience, and we had it all to ourselves (the archaeological team had evacuated). Magical.
