CURRENT MISSION
Widen my horizon.
ABOUT ME
I always want to be active. When I don't have anything to do I get easily bored and find something to do. I like to see myself as a creative person. I play the piano, I used to conduct a choir and otherwise I take photos, draw, write, paint and whatever. When ever I get the chance I also play theatre. Have been in some kind of big productions back home in the small Faroe Islands.
I'm very idealistic. I always believe in the good in people and I generally trust the people I meet (until proven wrong). I also believe in standing up for my rights (and other's). And that's where you find my political interest.
I am also adventurous. I want to explore and understand new cultures and new things in general. This spring I rode a camel, slept in the desert, was an extra in a Chinese movie production, went trekking in the Himalayas and decided to study in China for the next 3 years, learnt how to make a Thai massage and to scuba dive. Next on the list on the list is even deeper scuba dive :) !
PHILOSOPHY
Singing and driving is fun!
Driving and drinking is stupid!
...But singing and drinking! :D :D
That's the spirit :P !
Never drink and DIVE! :P
(quote from a teacher :P )
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have surfed. When I get a couch, I'll host! :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Had the honour of staying with a really nice German girl, an Indian doctor and met some locals in New Delhi. Looking forward to more CS experiences :).
Interests
In addition to the above I think it sometimes is good to take a break from the crazyness. Then I enjoy reading, listening to and playing music and watch a really cheesy romantic comedy :).
I've resently discoverd the joy of doing sports even though I'm quite bad at it. Swimming, hiking, fitness, cycling and volleyball are amongst my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Me and my boyfriend saw The Lion King musical in London in 2008. It was a dream come true.
And in 2012, I got tickets to the Coldplay concert in Copenhagen. Amazing!
Usually I don't care about the Eurovision but it sure was fun to watch it witch random and awesome Icelantic people we met in Ningbo, China. They bought the bar open longer so we could stream Eurovision until 6 am local time.
But this question is hard to answer because I think the small good moments can be just as amazing as big events.
