Hi!
We are two people: Samantha and Gudmundur/Gummi!
We live on the edge of Denmark's third largest city Odense (where H.C. Andersen was born) with our two children.

Samantha was born and raised in Denmark while Gudmundur is Icelandic, and has lived in Denmark since 2010.

We are very down to earth, relaxed, open-minded and rather bookish. We are reliable and responsible people - the kind of guests who will always do the dishes and make the bed.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is not a goal in life, but a way of living life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a great way to get a more personal experience of the places you go as a tourist!
We love meeting new people and helping out with accomodation.
Also, travelling cheaper might mean travelling more frequently.
We love practicing languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Guðmundur mostly likes rock and metal music. He likes Terry Pratchett's books and The Lord of the Rings, and the Icelandic sagas. He likes comedies and action films.

Samantha loves rock, classical music and alternative, relaxed singers like Jack Johnson and Enya. She is into horror, comedies and big budget, visually beautiful movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Several things:

Became parents!

22 days road trip in Califorina with baby and grandmother (nanny)!

Guðmundur: I've seen a volcano erupting!

Samantha: I've crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice by tall ship!

Together we climbed a moutain in Iceland: 23 km of hiking on what for a great part looked like the Moon, and the Earth in its making.

Teach, Learn, Share

Guðmundur: I like languages and learning them. I speak Icelandic, Danish and English, so I can help teaching them. I also like electronics, maths, programming, physics and can teach a little in those subjects.

Samantha: I can teach you some Danish, a bit of Danish history, culture and nature.

Gummi'd like to learn more in his electric guitar (theory, metal), anything!
Sam'd like to learn about nature, languages, culture, cat training, anything :3
