CURRENT MISSION

Turning our garden into a vegetable heaven

ABOUT ME

Living with my family of four in a house just outside of Copenhagen. I teach rhetoric at The University of Copenhagen, and have established a non-profit project that aims to give young people the courage to speak out loud in public.

Extremely proud of our children, Irene (b. 2018) and Evald (b. 2021) and enjoy spending as much time with them as possible. Am really looking forward to sharing the wonders of travelling with them.

I have had so many wonderful experiences with couch surfing when I was younger, but not much after we had kids - hoping to change that now that they are a little older.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Creating a music festival for all of my friends when I was 18 years old. Located near my house in beautiful surroundings I held a festival for more than 20 bands with great help from my great friends. The most crazy experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you grow your own vegetables, this will be very usefull. If you don't - then don't read.

Your own pee is a great fertilizer. But it's way to strong to use directly. Mix it 1:20 with water and use for any plants you like. It's cheap and environmentally friendly :)
