CURRENT MISSION

To get to know new people and places, by not following the tourists' tracks but rather get the personal impression and a picture of everyday life :)

ABOUT ME

To travel is to live! I have always travelled and even though I'm most of the time very happy with my everyday life and try to make the most of it, there's a little restless feeling coming up once in a while and travelling has become an important and necessary part of my life. My parents have always travelled a lot with me and my 4 older sisters and brothers. They studied abroad when they were young and so have all my siblings and me. We have close family in England, Germany and Norway - and family friends in France (almost family). I have lived in Berlin (spring 2004), Vienna (2006-2007) and Brussels (2009). I have been working within Volunteer organizations since 2002 where I joined the international peace organization CISV, in 2007 I joined another NGO, Humanity in Action, a human rights organization and finally in 2009 I became trainer for the organization Action Aid. I have travelled a lot with these organizations, participating in seminars, workshops and also as a participant in camps or being the leader of youth camps. I like being and working in international teams and have learned a lot about myself through this and the different challenges that bring.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I don't have a television, but I love to watch movies on my laptop. I should go more to the cinema cause I really like it but it's so expensive in Denmark. I play the piano and have a broad taste when it comes to music, it depends on my mood. These days I listen a lot to Bon Iver, Air, As in RebekkaMaria, Imogen Heap, Teitur and Cat Power. Thoughtfull days..
