About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would like to climb a Baobab tree without help

ABOUT ME

All about me, ouch.. I think I am a chilled dude, who enjoys traveling, climbing, football, archery, sailing, festivals or just drinking beer in the park with friends.

I grew up on a small island in the south of Denmark, but have since then lived in Copenhagen and travelled in South America, Caucasus, Europe and Iran.

What I enjoy about travelling is to getting to know, new 'secret' spots and people.
Beside my study, interests and friends, I'm active in this organisation working for democratic rights in eastern Europe and Caucasus. It is taking a lot of my time, but I find it very interesting and worth fighting for.

Just to warn you; some things I'm really bad at:
- I'm more like a dog than a fish in water.
- I'm really bad in rhyming. My parents kept teaching me fake rhymes..
- Sometimes very competitive in games.. Especially 'Settler'.
- I always make a strong cup of coffee and use a lot of garlic for cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

The worst movie/show I have ever seen is Transformer(in Portuguese) in a bus in Brazil, the best is Twin Peaks. Kitsch, well wtf...

Music: everything in between Phillip Glass and Air.

My favorite book is probably 'Crime and punishment' or 'The unbearable lightness of being' by Milan Kundera. Those personal characteristics....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been walking our own way 45 km on 2 days to the top of Machu Picchu and enjoying a white russian on the top, while the clouds were disappearing. A!
