Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Depends on my housemates, send me a message and we'll figure it out.

First of all - please write me through this site, I need to know who I am potentially letting into my house. 'ausgezeichnet56@hotmail.com' doesn't tell me anything about you at all.

Otherwise than that I've found ,myself to be leaving in Crookes in Sheffield, England. It is I'm afraid a horribly looking place but there are tons of things to do, so should you way bring you by here we'll go to a pub, The Peak District or whatever sounds like fun.

Personal Description

Bored from school I became a conscript and found that bored can reach surreal levels in the army. After the aforementioned corruption of a fairly happy Kristian I bougt a one-way ticket to Miami and travelled around North America for a while. That does, however, not make you rich so now I'm studying at The University of Aarhus - but philosophy unfortunately will not make me rich. Soon I'll be moving to England, for the fun of it and after that there is a good chance that i'll be doing something else :)

CouchSurfing Experience

Couchsurfed around North America for 4 months and hosted various people in Aarhus, Denmark.

Interests

Well obviously this has to do with my mission... Come to think of it - is that obvious? ....I like to turn stones and try bridges. And metaphors.

Philosophy

Freedom is not a physical thing. Curiosity is the fountain of youth. It is impossible for the truly curious person to waste time! ... Or as Lewis Carroll put it - "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” (and that, my friends, is a positive thing)

Music, Movies, Books

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and
Hemmingway as well as Mark Twain and Frans G. Bengtson... Music: Muse, Led Zeppelin, Kaiserz orchestra, Stones, Doors, Jimi H, RATM, DMB, Mew, Malk de Koijn, Bikstok, Cake, Outkast, Nirvana, M.I.A, Kent, Blue foundation, Cat Empire, Eels and so forth and so on..

Types of People I enjoy

People who'd make cropcirles on foreign planets, if they had spaceships...

Teach, Learn, Share

Well as a philosophy student you'd think I'd know something about philosophy..

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I jumped out of a plane. I went to France with a girl i had just meet. Cruised the desserts of Doha. Explored the Tibetan highlands. And bought a one-way ticket to a different continent without any plans or sense of direction for that matter...

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.com Project

Curiosity is the fountain of youth and couchsurfing helps us drink...

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States

Hopefully Kristian left Sheffield with a good impression as he's got a few years to put up with it. He very kindly gave me some Danish 'Christmas Juice' which I am still to finish. He also left his (very) salty liquorice! I don't even think he realised how much the Danes like salt! Change is good.

Kristian is a great guy. We had some awesome conversations, shuffleboard championships, videogame battles, and a near death experience... the chandelier breaking close to our bed! Even so, I would come back to Aarhus anytime and he knows that he is welcome in Saskatoon.

Kristian is an extremely good host! He is a genuine person that I would definately visit again and invite to surf my couch. Don't worry Kristian, I don't have an chandeleirs in my house, you will be safe! Oh! When you do come to Canada, maybe you should leave your dueling glove behind...

I felt very welcomed by Kristian. He traveled a lot and it was nice to exchange about it. My sister and I discovered new things about Denmark and the traditional danish dish was seriously very good. Kristian has a lot to say and to share with others. My new addiction is because of him: the TV serie Twin Peaks. Thanks for everything!!

Really nice and helpful guy. Also, many thanks to his flatmate for cooking us a wonderful tranditional Danish meal. Mmmm.
Thanks to Kristian, we are now in love with the TV serie Twin Peaks (which we had never heard from before). Can t wait to get back to Canada for a Twin Peaks Marathon.
Again, many thanks.

Poor boy! When he saw us arriving with out suitcases,I'm sure he thought "oh my god!"
He explained us about his great trips around the world and we've been talking for three hours in the kitchen, from hangovers to politicians.
Then we played the "Guitar Hero", a really fun (and freak!) moment!
And he also told us how to arrive to the bus station (and finally he was right!)

Met Kristian in Aarhus. Very interesting and open-minded guy, he welcomed us at his place for our last night in Denmark and he was incredibly nice! We had such a good time there… we talked a lot and laugh even more and we played guitar with him and his roommate!

Hosted Kristian for a few days. I hosted Kristian at my house for a few days, I think it was like 4. He's a great guy I wasn't able to meet him when he first arrived into town, but we left the door at the house open for him and he got to spend like the first 8 hours in town (and at the house if he wanted) alone. He's a pleasure to have around and would be welcome back at my house anytime he wanted. I'd even get him a place to stay at any of my friends around the country or even my parents house.

Kristian is a guy with a good sense of black humour. Even though he got long hair and study philosophy, he is fun to be around :-)
Probably the best thing about him, is he recognizes Jean Claude van Damme to be one of the most important persons ever to come out of Belgium.

Kristian is really a fine example of mankind being able to be good. Hes friendly and full of interesting stories that might scare you but will overall leave you with a feeling of contentment. to not be too positive as it might create some suspicion he did manage to offend me by comparing me to Jean-Claude Van Damme, so yes mistakes can be made.
