About Me

ABOUT ME

I am 26 years old and am currently studying library- and information science in Copenhagen. From the end of march I will go to Japan to study a semester as an exchange student, and am looking very much forward to finding some nice hosts when I have a chance to travel around the country.

I love playing soccer, reading books, dancing, riding motorcycles and hanging out with friends and other nice people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been surfing a couple of couches around Europe. and have been hosting a couple of times now as well. its not for certain that i can host,since my current housing situation only allows me to host once in a while. but ask and we will see..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have used Servas(an organization pretty simular to couch surfing) when I travelled in India. Surfed a few couches around europe and have been a host several times

Interests

While I have been living in Japan I have been playing tennis. Katrine is studying ethnography. Christina is a teacher and Dudda works in a museum. I myself study library- and information science

Music, Movies, and Books

Magnetic Fields, Belle and Sebastian, David Bowie, Bonnie Prince Billy, Leonard Cohen, Portishead, Badly Drawn Boy, Blur, The Radio Department, The Smiths, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, MGMT, Eels, Architecture in Helsinki, Pixies.... and a whole lot more.

I really like the writers Bret Easton Ellis and Jonathan Safran Foer, but also a lot of other writers and would like to have some more time to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is hard to pick specific examples, since I try to live surrounded by friends I love and I try to make as much of my everyday life as possible, but I guess it is really rare that you experience something awestrucking unless you get yourself out there and do something extraordinary.

At concerts where the feel is something special - I am especially thinking about a Flaming Lips concert I went to.

It was also very giving for me when I was travelling around in South America by myself

Teach, Learn, Share
