Overview
About Me
Hi I'm 28 yo, half Danish/half Israeli. I recently dropped out of Medical School after 4 years, cause I realized I couldn't see my see myself being happy as a doctor. Now I've decided to study acupuncture and Chinese Medicine instead, cause I really believe in seeing the body and mind in a more connected and hollistic way. Currently I'm living in Copenhagen, but I'm planning to move to Athens this summer.
I like doing a lot of creative stuff, drawing, painting, making clothes etc. I grew up with my parents being musicians, so I have always enjoyed music and creative energy. My family and my dog Luna means the whole world to me! I'm so lucky to have traveled to so many places around the globe already, experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and eating new kinds of food is just the most joyful things I know.
I'm a social person who loves meeting people, but I also love being alone in my own company. I like peace and quite and just being present in the now and enjoying the small things.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to not feel to touristy when I'm traveling somewhere and actually really experience a place. When you stay at people's home you get such a different vibe than at a hostel and also you get a chance to meet likeminded people. I love to be able to host in my home as well when it's possible and give someone a nice experience in my city. In general I think it's such a nice way to meet and connect with people all around the world.
I have never hosted anyone through this website but have multiple times had travelers (friends of a friend etc.) stay at my place and I've always enjoyed it.
