CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking around Puerto Rico for 5 weeks. I'm very excited about going on my first trip solo, I have made no plans and hope to do whatever I feel like every day. Give me a txt if you want to meet up or have a couch I can stay on for a night or two.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Anja!
I have finished my second year of my education to become a midwife. I have 1½ years left and decided now was the perfect time for ½ year break to unwind and get my energy tanks filled up again.

I'm the youngest of two sisters, aunt to Mynthe who is 3 years old and girlfriend to Simon.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it and happiness is not a destination but a way of travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Friends of mine introduced me to couchsurfing and I immediately loved the concept! I met some of the couchsurfers that visited my friends and saw that they were just like me, ordinary people with a sense for adventure.

So like everyone else in this community I am on couchsurfing to meet lovely people and experience the places where I go from a local point of view.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever couchsurfed once when I was in New Zealand. I'll admit it was a bit scary staying with strangers for the first time, but it didn't take long before I felt welcome and we ended up having a good time.

I still haven't had the pleasure of hosting anyone due to the lack of a couch and moving back and forth every six months for my studies, but I hope to pop that cherry soon!

Interests

Travelling and exploring the world is a general interest of mine - backpacking, hiking, fancy hotel stays, hitchhiking, romantic urban city stays - I love it all!
I like rock climbing (though I'm a bit out of shape at the moment), eating good food, watching movies, drinking good coffee, having a beer or two, reading, dancing and singing (not pretty, but good fun), laughing, crocheting and the latest interest of mine is yoga.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is 'This is where I leave you' by Jonathan Tropper - dramatic and humorous - makes me both cry and laugh. Right now I'm reading ' Wild' by Cheryl Strayed.
I have a very wide music taste, but lately I often listen to Drake and Florence + The Machine, depending on my mood.
Comedy movies are my favorite, but in general I just want to be entertained and love movies that uplift me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trusted my intuition, sometimes it's harder than you think.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've started to crochet about a year ago and would love to teach you if you're interested. I've just started having an interest in yoga, it would be fun doing it together. I can teach you a few phrases in danish if you like and you can teach me some phrases in your language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you invite me to your home I would love to cook you a fab vegan meal to show my gratitude and hopefully share a good conversation too.
