About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave the world better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

Hi there!

I'm a friendly and peaceful fellow trying to find a place or two somewhere in the growing movement for a better world. I love traveling by foot and air, I love coffee, biking, learning, understanding and growing.

I live in Copenhagen, where I am involved with immigration and asylum activism, volunteering at a community centre, work with documentary photography and filmmaking and artwork.

I make good bread, and try my best to be a good person.

PHILOSOPHY

We make the road only by walking.

Interests

People, planet, love, justice, language, participatory democracy, ecology, diversity, activism, globalization, civil rights, visual culture, documentarism, anthropology, media, news, books, films, music, nature, friends, fuzzy animals, drizzle, wind from below, and kind old people on the street.

In particular, acts of kindness and resistance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on stone steps warmed by the sun a couple of blocks from my home with my best friend, having a portable barefeet breakfast and the best home-made coffee in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood, and don't assign them tasks and work – but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
—Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I can do a decent massage for sore necks, I serve good coffee, I flip good pancakes, I speak decent Spanish, English and Danish, and can teach. I'm generally inclined to help where I can, so don't be afraid to ask.
