Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had a really good experience in Liverpool with a bounch of funny Chinese people. This really opened my mind for how couchsurfing works and the possibilities of gaining life changing experiences.

The entire concept of combining travelling with sharing experiences and ideas with local people is, to me, ideal as it shows the area in a much more personal and varied way than visiting museums with a guide book.

What I can offer as a host is a couch, a guided tour in my hometown, Aarhus, inspiration for other travelling sights in Denmark. How to eat, sleep and travel fairly cheap in Denmark, since it is quite expensive.

Interests

For the last year or so I've really been into physical activities as crossfit but also different kinds of sports, e.g. football, handball etc.

Beside of that topics as society, religion, educational systems, philosophy. Generally, reading is a hobby of mine and I really like modern novellists as Hanif Kureshi, Alaa al-Aswany, Hanan al-Shaykh etc. though I also read older and more classic novelists as Dorstojevski, Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie.
Beside of that I love parties, getting a few beers and push my boundaries!

The list of movies is endless.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught Danish, English and Ghanaian children.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite good at English, though I can always learn.
I'm fluent in Danish and my German is mediocre.

I play the piano at beginner's level and chess as well.

I know quite a lot about the Danish and Scandinavians' lifestyle, history and contemporary society.
