About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going to Italy WWOOFing and Russia "visiting"

ABOUT ME

Studying literatue - having a ball with literature, philosophy, arts, parties and talks and new experiences and people.
Digging surprises and upheavals - trying to figure out what poetry means and life and bla. bla. - maybe not really. but like that talk sometimes.
I Like neew cultures and practices.
I Like ecology and sustainable living.
I really like cooking.
I Like indie, balkan, jazz, electronic, rock, folk music.
I like life ( on facebook :)) - no not on facebook.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm.. I wont claim to have a defined personal philosophy. I live because I'm bound to and I do really like it. Life is full of surprises and experiences..
And I am trying figure out how the subjectivity of Guatarri in Three Ecologies can be a guide line for a new philosophical approach to nature and man bound together.
Well but in fact philosophy to me is people like: Heidegger, Adorno, Zizek, Kant, Hegel, Benjamin, Hume, Gadamer, Guatarri & Deleuze, Horkheimer, Ranciere etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been CouchSurfin around in Eastern Europe and Asia and hosted a handful of people in Copenhagen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best experiences I've had are the ones where you forget about the couch and the practics, when people have welcomed me with trust humour and thoughtfullness and we have learned from each other. Both when have hosted and surfed.
I scared me a bit to lend a 'stranger' my housekeys the first time, but it is a lesson in trusting people.

Interests

My pirmarry interests are
Literature in all but the most mainstream forms :)
Arts as curious viewer of technics and ideas.
Ecology and sustainability where I think I find my answers for tomorrows problems.

And then something; COOKING, building, fixing bikes/running bikes, discussing etc.

Just saw Parking lot movie and the skin I live to really good movies in each their way. I like films but intelligent films and usually not the ones that hit the big cinemas.

Music interests are primarly rock, jazz, electronic, folk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me it was pretty amazing driving around in Eastern Europe with my friends to discover a geographically close world but to us a rather unknown world.
Well it's amazing just driving with no bigger plans, schedules and just experiencing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I' can share wood crafting skills, knowlegde/insights in arts and or politics but also learn much more about this :)
Writing both as teach, learn and share. I know some about technics and style.
Well cooking is something I can learn you, or share with you, I have found out that it is usually a bit difficult to cook in other cultures, since people do things differently but I have learn some things from this, and I love to cook etc.
Languages as well - I can "teach" Danish, english, and some German and very little russian
I'd love to share sports as well, I'm mainly skilled at handball, basket ball, tennis, climbing, football, snowboarding and also open for some new games
