About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the world for 8 months starting september 30th 2010

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing person and have a huge selfconfidence. I don't really care what people think of me and what I do, as long as what I do don't hurt other people. I just do the things I want without bothering weather some people would think that it's embarassing or foolish.

I'm full of energy and I almost never say no if my friends want to do something. I wanna experience as much as possible while I'm alive.

A tip: If I can't meet up and show you Stockholm. Try www.outbirds.com. It's a community where you can find activities and people where ever you are. It's like Couchsurfing just for activities instead of hosting. Go to a bbq, play football or what ever is up where ever you are.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry. Everything will turn out alright.

Favorite quote- It's better to burn out than fade away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have introduced CS to a lot of my friends. And I'd liked to think that I had something to do with my girlfriend getting her CS page =).

I have hosted several people during my time on CS.

Interests

I love design, sports, music, movies and partying.

Football (real football, not the american style) is a huge part of my life. I play, coach and watch football. Other sports I like are skiing (mostly down hill, but also distance), tennis, hockey and several others.

I like to shop clothes, accessories and stuff for my appartment. Just wished I could spend some more money, it's an expensive hobby.

What kind of music I listen to varies. It depends on what I'm doing. I'm kind of an all eater of music, although I'm always in the mood for rock.

I am a real party animal (party apa). I like to drink often and a lot. I prefer beer, especially from Belgium, Denmark and Germany. When I've had a bit to drink (and even if I haven't) I love to dance and do stupid things. I don't really care if I make a fool of myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love films, and my father has a collection of several hundred films.

Some of my favorit films are.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
Clock work orange
The green mile
Festen (danish film)
Natvagten/Nightwatch(also a danish film, and one of very few films that has gotten me really scared)
Oh brother where art thou
Any of Akira Kurozawasa's films

These are just some of the hundreds of films I love.

I read a lot when I was younger(especially the classics), but now I read about 8-12 books per year. When I was younger I read the classics and fantasy, but now I read mostly crime stories.

When it comes to music I mostly prefer Rock, but I listen to most kinds of music. I was really in to Hip Hop when I was younger, and I prefer Old school, but it's one of the genres I listen least to.
You could say that when I don't listen to Rock, I listen to songs depending on my mood. So my iTunes is kind of Schizophrenic. =)
