Overview
About Me
Born and bread in Copenhagen but lived a few years abroad in London to finish my studies. Tried out Berlin for some time to and came to Copenhagen 5 minutes to lockdown💃🏼
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I prefer to make friends in new places . Meeting locals is always the best way to explore a place and so far I have made some cool friends whom I’m still in contact with ..
Interests
I’m obviously into travelling but besides that I have a bit of a geeky side. I’m really into tech and the emotionel aspects behind why and how people engage with objects and technology. How tech should be formed to accommodate that. This is also what I do for a living.
I’m a foodie and love, love to taste dishes from different cultures and to cook myself but mostly for others as cooking or myself is boring if there is no one to share it with.
I’m into interior decorating and fashion. I recently restored my beautiful old art deco apartment into a little dream gem in Copenhagen. However it was so tough that Im not doing that anytime soon again 😅

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In London I designed an interactive dinner experience that was based on the scientific notion of black holes in space. Very nerdy but fun and it was great seeing people come together to discuss the unknown🌑
I accidentally crossed the Israeli Palestian boarder and got out of the bus in a settler area. Here some pretty orthodox guys seemed to be wondering that the heck I was doing there. I don’t think they have ever seen a blonde tourist dressed in a silk suit with the word “love child” printed repeatedly, on it before 🤓💃🏼
Quit my job in banking/fintech cause I wanted to be happy 🧘🏼♀️
