About Me

!!Please read through my profile before you send a request!! I get at lot of requests, so I tend to filter out people who don't care about who they surf with... 2 nights in a row is the maximum I can host!
If you don't write "Leo is the most awesome cat in the universe!" in your first line, I know you have not read anything.

WHO AM I?

That's a good question, and I'm glad you ask :)
It tends to change quite a lot, I think, but over time it becomes more and more steady. I believe we settle into our lives through time and for some of us it might time a lot of time.

Anyways, after I finished study I moved to Aarhus to get in on the action. I spent a lot of time with my friends and I loved to get out of the house. Either to some event in town or get into the wild.

Just a few months before the first Corona lockdown, I decided to move out of town with 5 other people I don't know already, because I found it so healing to be in the countryside and having people around me.

I lived in the old orchard with cats and chicken and bees for 4 years, before I decided to uproot again, travel the world for 3 months and settle down at another farm close to Silkeborg with my best friend from primary school and his wife and kids.

THAT'S where I live now: A remote farm with 18 hectares of land where I keep bees and raise my dog, Max.

*** Original note which I can't get myself to delete:
After highschool, I went "down under" for half a year and had a pretty awesome time! I worked a bit to begin with, but then I bought a car and started just traveling around, seeing everything I could and met so many lovely people.
Now I'm a whole new guy, doing all I can to enjoy the rest of my new life, touring on my MC, parachuting, clubbing, traveling.. well in generel: I do whatever I want, while I want it and looking forward to every next day.

PHILOSOPHY

"We'll all get, what we need of this life" and "Everything is good, as long as it is good!"

You'll probably find me very calm and relaxed, and I am... but I love to experiment and do new things or do things different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell people about the CS and host as many as I can...
I have also enjoyed surfing with others all over the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really enjoyed the hospitality from all my hosts in the US, when interning in San Diego and traveling through the country.
Have also traveled through Europe three times, staying with CS hosts and hosted a few times myself. I just love the social aspects, and the level of trust always surprises me!

HONESTY:
PLEASE be honest, when you write your reference after hosting/surfing. I meet too many people, who are affraid to give harsh reviews, but when Couchsurfing is 100% about honesty, we need to take care of each other!!
If your CS experience with me was not what you were looking for, PLEASE write to me, what I can do better for the next person! Thanks :)

Interests

I have tried so many different sports and hobbies, and I still like to try new stuff. 2012 I started fencing when doing my internship in San Diego, but but knee bailed on me the year after.
At the moment I'm mostly enjoying the outdoors :)

I used to meditate a every day before I went to work, so if you know a good exercise I would love to try it out :)

Music, Movies, and Books

What I listen to at the moment: "Lord Huron", "Total Hip Replacement", "Trubaduren og hand rockback".

Music from the past: Infected Mushroom, Culcha Candela, D-A-D, White Lies, Ella Fitzgerald.

Movies: The Matrix and Boondock Saints. (top 2.. but I love movies and watch the most).

And sorry to say, but I don't read books :/ I enjoy looking at other people's books, but I can't get myself to read since I finished uni.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

GOT MYSELF A PUPPY! 🐶

Drove through Vietnam on a scooter from north to south.

Jumped out of an airplane.

D-A-D concert the day I graduated as bachelor, AWESOME DAY!!

Awarded for best final project, when I graduated 2 years later as Business Development Engineer...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn by watching and doing.
I like to repair stuff, that I don't actually know how to fix.

I love to talk with new people about nearly everything, and I'm really interested in "how people work"... like.. how stuff work:) What makes people do, what they do, and how should I do. Can I learn anything from others?

I usually share my fridge with my couch surfers, and I would be really happy if it goes both ways, say some original supper or whatever you fancy :)

I would be very delighted to try out some food or dish from where you come from!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to try Danish "Frikadeller" or "Koldskål", plz tell me in advance so we can figure out the ingredients.
My hands are working pretty well, so if you need some help with a small project, please feel free to invite :)
