We are Mikkel (33) and Sophia (25) - a danish couple 🌞

We are on our first interrail this summer, and the interrail-pass allow for 2 months of travel. We aim to experience as much as possible on our trip around Europe and wish to travel alternatively and with more contact to the local areas and get in contact with some awesome humans - which is why we are here!

In Denmark we live in a flat - right under the roof, in an old appartment in the very center of Aarhus. We are both students - Mikkel studies Social Work and has a passion for comedy and entertainment where he dreams of making a career. Sophia studies Art History and makes art whenever possible as she wishes to live as an artist.
We have just bought an old van - a Ford Transit from 1979 we have named Gudrun - that we hope to restore and experience many travelling adventures in. But until she is ready, we travel with a tent. You can follow our adventure with the camper on @campergudrun on Instagram and YouTube - beware, the content is danish.

We are both spiritual in nature and very curious about life - art, music and adventures are some of what we aim to fill our own and others' lives with. We do not drink alcohol or smoke, but we are always up for good food and new challenges!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We wish for our adventures to be social and open to new cultures and people. We do not wish for a typical "turist vacation", but we want to really live and experience the places we travel to as well as getting new connections along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books

Both of us love experimenting and aim to keep learning in an about life and not just in school.
Books about spirituality and personal finance are on our booshelves as well as old classic danish kids book full of inspiring illustrations and fantastical stories.
Sophia has a passion for movies and choosing only a few favorites would be impossible, but films with an alternative style and a dash of sarcasm and dark humor and a more experimenting approach to the artform is a great pleasure.
In music we listen to everything from 70's roadtrip classics to modern danish indie to anything with a fetching beat and a heavy bass. Exchanging music, litterature and movies with a host would be amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The interrail we are on right now!
And last summer - as seen in the pictures - we biked around the edge of the island of Bornholm within two weeks and with only our backpacks, a tent and some bikes we borrowed. We saw old ruins, breathtaking nature, slept on rocks by the sea, woke up next to goats and cows and swam in a quarry, among other things.
This was our first big adventure together and we can't wait for more!

Teach, Learn, Share

In 2022 Sophia was a volunteer at a summer camp in Transylvania, Romania, where she taught about mental health to older kids and teens. She has also taught music and art occationally throughout the years. Both of which are passions!
Mikkel knows so many cool things about so much and a conversation with him is never boring as he is truely a funny guy! And if you have problems with your car (or other vehicle) or plants, he is the guy to consult!
We are also both pretty handy :)
