About Me

CURRENT MISSION

And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh. - Nietzsche

ABOUT ME

I enjoy grabbing whatever chance might come for getting to know a bit more about this wicked world and be enlightened by different people's perspective on life.... I'm curious, spontaneous, playful, outgoing, very patient and laugh easily.

I'm very interested in learning different languages, for the moment it's especially keeping up my Spanish and learn to speak German and a bit of Portuguese.

I love being creative and I use a lot of time playing music and doing photography. I often get a sincere feeling of happiness when playing percussion or when I get carried away at a photo session.

PHILOSOPHY

"Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day." - Winnie the Pooh

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to help out people who need it and appreciate it... I host when possible, show people the local surroundings and what makes it special/interesting, and lending out a bicycle once in a while when CSs have needed it (this is a thing that is mandatory in Copenhagen!). I've studied in Salamanca, and there I had the pleasure of becoming a part of the lovely CS family! Participating in events, arranging some and helping the community in other ways.Besides that I try to attend CS gatherings wherever I'm travelling.... and I found that there is a good change of meeting good people with big hearts and willingness to help you out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some amazing experience through CS... Meeting a lot of people who all have a lot to tell and to give. I really like all the different ways of doing CS, whether it's hosting, being hosted, participating in gatherings or stroll around the city - the unknown ones as well as my own.... I always end up seeing it all in a different perspective when I show CSs around - and how cool is that?!!I've surfed couches through CS, or in other ways, when traveling on my own in Europe, Brazil and Mexico - amazing experiences! Especially through CS, I've met some super interesting and open minded people that have made my journey extra cool! It is such a great way to get to know a foreign place from within! I've been hosted by CSs in:Oaxaca, Mexico (Paul)Salvador, Brazil (Alberto)Prag, Czech Republic (Oliver)Salamanca, Spain (Ana Claudia)Madrid, Spain (Fernando & Vella) Madrid, Spain (Dem)Manzaneda (Galicia), Spain (Tristano & Mariagrazia)Sevilla, Spain (María & Camille)Sofia, Bulgaria (Bojo & Zlaty)Bucharest, Rumania (Mihai)Brasov, Rumania (Alex & Simona)Sibiu, Rumania (Catalin)Budapest, Hungaria (Joacim)La Laguna (Tenerife), Spain (Daniel)La Orotava (Tenerife), Spain (Antonio & Noe)La Orotava (Tenerife), Spain (Lorenzo)Sanlúcar (Andalucía), Spain (Chus & Dani)Santiago de Compostela, Spain (Sara)

Interests

ADVENTURES!!! I absolutely love to be surprised by unexpected adventures :) When things turn out to be in a slightly different way than what I had expected, or when CSs can show me a bit of what they like about their country, share their passions and interests.

My great passion is playing percussion... I play samba myself, but I love all the complicated rhythms of folkloric music from around the world!

Besides I am very much into photography, art in general, students politics, history and philosophy... and not least I love good stories; reading books, watching weird and nerdy movies and going to the theatre.
