I'm a 23 year old student who has happily lived in Amsterdam for the past 5 years. I’ve recently moved to Copenhagen to pursue a PhD in Ecology. I love music, reading, being outside, good food and good company. I’m gay and spend most of my time with and around queer people.

I’m quite new to Couchsurfing and super curious about the platform and its people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m interested in meeting and learning from new people! I think couchsurfing is a very special way to appreciate different locations through the lens of people living there.

Music, Movies, and Books

“the wall - marlen haushofer” and “drive your plow over the bones of the dead - olga tokarczuk” are my all-time favorite books. I try to read as much as I can, and am currently reading “winter - ali smith” and “the overstory - richard powers”. My interests in novels are diverse, but I tend to gravitate towards ecological, magical realism and/or abstract themes.

I’m not much of a movies guy, but currently rewatching all of the original Planet of the Apes films (which are incredible)

I listen to a lot of music, predominantly electronic (techno, trance, (happy) hardcore), pop, hyperpop and ambient.

Teach, Learn, Share

I currently trying to learn how to knit! And am picking up tiny bits of Danish. I’m more than willing to share some Dutch, and I’ven gotten reasonably okay at crochet over the past few years!

I love cooking, especially when it’s with and/or for more people than just myself :-)

I also love playing games - I’ve started playing Magic the Gathering, a trading card game, which is turning into an unhealthy obsession.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to hang out, chat, go for drinks or walks/bikerides together, visit a concert, museum or even the theater together!

Obviously if you’re able to host me, I’d gladly partake in cleaning, cooking, buying groceries etc. but these things might be a bit obvious.
