About Me

**** READ FIRST ****
Please, DO NOT send me a friend request if we haven't met. Same goes for request about my Instagram. I will ignore them.

.. So, now that we've gotten that over with:
I am planning to travel to Scotland in order to work and get to know the country through the eyes of locals, all over.
I have spent two and a half years serving in the Danish Army, where I was deployed to Estonia for six months.
Now, I’ve quit my job and decided that there’s more to life than little Denmark.
I want to open my heart to the world around me!
..
I am an easy-going, curious person. I’m very much into spirituality and meditation and I enjoy being introduced to other ways of living, than my own.
I believe that whatever we put out into the world, we’re going to receive back. Be it attitude, actions, energy.. I also believe that everything happens as it is meant to.
We all have lessons we must learn and experiences that will shape us into becoming the best versions of ourselves.
I am certainly not perfect and I find that extremely soothing to think about.
Life would be so boring if there were no lessons to be learned, am I right?
.
Nature and physical activity are my sources of energy and are those places where I truly experience peace.

Whether you want to meet up for a walk in a park/nature, a cup o’ tea or want to share your domestic hospitality with me, I’m looking forward to meeting you. :)

And basically everything that is about the human psyche, mind, behaviour and self development books...

Music: This varies depending on my mood.

Honorable mentions: Soundgarden, Hozier, Massive Attack, Metallica, Tool, El-P, Kendrick Lamar, Sia, Rammstein, St. Vincent, (I could go on. I LOVE music. Especially from different countries!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Abandoning control, defeating shame, guilt and fear and travelling the path of rich, heart-filled spirituality so that I could come to terms with a deeply dissatisfying career and pursue my own happiness. .. Yes, in both the great and the grimy. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am no wonder of any one skill. Neither have I got a CV with an amazing career and groundbreaking skill attached to it. But I have a feeling you’d probably hate that anyway. :)
..
I truly Just want to share pleasant moments with you. Enjoying beautiful nature, hiking/other physical activity, a great movie, a meditation session, meaningful conversation, just relaxing.. Getting to know the world from your perspective.
