About Me

A friend of mine that I haven't had seen in a while recently told me :
"You the only person that I know who is weird, but like in a surprisingly good way."

Shy introvert turned social after approaching ~5000 random women with cheesy pick up lines.
Educated agricultural technician, who used his education to plant his diploma deep in his garden, hoping it will grow into a job offer.
Dropped out of Innovation and Entrepreneurship studies - twice.
First time to cry and play video-games. and the second to pursue a career in Stand Up Comedy.

A motto I try to live by is a quote by Dr. Seuss :
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who Mind don't matter, and those who Matter don't mind."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not currently travelling, so I am here to give back by hosting random travelers , the same way people hosted me when I was hitchhiking.

Interests

If I knew today was my last day, I would spend it taking psychedelic mushrooms, play basketball and have sex, though not necessarily in that order. (+listen to music during all those activities)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When not in quarantine, performing weekly stand up in Danish and English, do improv comedy, prevent crimes (in board games) and food waste (IRL), learning Spanish, meditating and reading non-fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit everything I was doing in Denmark, left my home and decided to hitchhike and couchsurf (and camp with my tent when necessary) all the way to Paris. 1000 kms, 30days , 17 drivers , 8 couchsurfing hosts 4 flixbusrides and one hijacking of the Paris Metro with one portable sound-system and 100 drunk and masked locals and tourists.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : Danish and tips for learning languages in general, getting over the fear of talking to strangers, getting out of your comfort zone, Solving the Rubik's cube, how to lucid dream, how to recognize the illusion of the self

Learn I'd love to learn Spanish, (have someone to practice with), how to read sheet music for piano songs, ,how to gain more healthy weight, yoga/ acro-yoga, how to cook delicious meals, how to swim properly

Share - I live by the beach, so I can share my towels and outdoor shower,
my couch and bathroom, along with soap and shampoos,
and everything I know about the world and the self.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can always talk about the illusion of the self, lucid dreaming, what is real, illusion of Free Will, how to find one's purpose, how to win creative battles with yourself and stuff...

I can share my knowledge about learning languages and leading a more fulfilled life.

I can also share some of my best jokes or help you turn your ordinary stories into something with a punchline.
