Overview
About Me
Living together with my brother in a medium size flat in Aalborg, Northen of Jutland, Denmark. My interests are mainly rooted in sports such as running, trailrunning and athletics. Recently, I visited Cape Town for a semester abroad regarding my BA in English & International Studies. Here, I managed to learn a little about African Music & Instruments, so I do play Djembe drums once in a while. I consider myself a world citizen, I am utterly humble and my philosophy of human life and society emphasizes Contributionism primarily. This is also the reason why I am joining this society. I want to help others with a place to stay if necessary, and also in order to create worldwide social network.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm planning to live the nomad lifestyle for the next couple of years. Therefore, I find it necessary to become a verified member. However, as my travel plans are still on the drawing table, I'll wait a couple of months to become a verified member.
Interests
I spend a lot of time and thoughts on subjects as Human Rights, Decentralization of Politics and Power and Cultural Globalization. Also, in general, I have flair for acquiring new languages. I'm always up for learning local language tongue twisters or just exchanging language skills and knowledge.

Music, Movies, and Books
When I'm in my zone, I do listen to jazz - a lot. Other than that, I prefer soul or soul-rock, while at other times I enjoy 70s or 80s disco/dance.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I gave this little kid in Zimbabwe my brand new Adidas sneakers. The smiling face on that little boy was all worth it, and he even insisted that I should take his Ostrich/Buffalo leather sandals in trade. I still wear those sandals on hot summer days.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach people of growing organic food - Learn how to become a true cosmopolitan citizen through other cultures - and Share knowledge of life experience.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Hospitality, help for household, and I am actually pretty good in a kitchen. I would love to make some delicious food in trade for your accommodation.
