About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experiencing copenhagen, people and architecture

ABOUT ME

I don't couchsurf to travel - I travel to couchsurf.

This is important to me. So if you share this opinion there is a good chance that I will host you if possible.

Allmost any cultural aspect of society is interesting to me. But - as an architect I have a particular interest in the aesthetics of physical objects and the built environment. Aesthetics in the sense of how the human is affected by these objects and spaces.

Along with this I have an interest in food, wine and cooking. Not that I am nearly a professional or even know much about what I am doing, but I enjoy when succeeding or having a great meal served. The appreciation of this has an aesthetic character to me as well.

If you sense some common interests, or would like to challenge me in my views, please write me - and let's explore the culture of Copenhagen and Danish-ness together.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay curious

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and I surfe.

Increasingly I find that I travel to SURF rather than I travel to SEE a country.
