Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Maybe Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends Shared Room: NoDepends 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. Friends (47)

Personal DescriptionBored 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 ExperienceCouchsurfed around North America for 4 months and hosted various people in Aarhus, Denmark.
InterestsWell 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.PhilosophyFreedom 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, BooksThe 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 enjoyPeople who'd make cropcirles on foreign planets, if they had spaceships...Teach, Learn, ShareWell as a philosophy student you'd think I'd know something about philosophy.. One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneI 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 ProjectCuriosity is the fountain of youth and couchsurfing helps us drink...Locations TraveledTRAVELED: Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States WANTS TO GO: Ireland, Japan References
From Chris Metcalfe Sheffield, United Kingdom Jul 29 Positive 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.
From Dani McCarthy Brisbane, Australia Jul 1 Positive Had an amazing time staying with Kristian...after I eventually found his place...better if you don't try to find his place looking for a yellow building though:) Had great fun playing a dice-game with his friends...and beating them:P Overall great guy!
From Jill Frith Saskatoon, Canada Jun 23 Positive 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.
From Kayla Michalenko Saskatoon, Canada Jun 23 Positive 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...
From Natalia Eiriz Melbourne, Australia Mar 2 Positive Kristian save me after be more than half hour waiting in a bar to some CSers.. Among the unpuntual people.. he is the more puntual one!!
His future plans impressed me a lot.. being adventurous and.. a little crazy!! :) safe travels!!
From Derek Ybarra New Orleans, United States Dec 4, 2007 Positive Great person who showed me couch surfing. Fun guy and has some great stories.
From Laurence Serra Montreal, Canada Nov 3, 2007 Positive 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!!
From Karine Serra Whistler, Canada Nov 3, 2007 Positive 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.
From Dean Tyacke London, United Kingdom Oct 18, 2007 Positive I was there when he had to finish uni work but still went out and after a few drinks he kicked my arse at foozball (table soccer). A good host and cool bloke, ask him about China.
From Sara Terrones Barcelona, Spain Sep 24, 2007 Positive 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!)
From Ana Lara Barcelona, Spain Sep 24, 2007 Positive 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!
From PAUL AND IDA Aarhus, Denmark Sep 5, 2007 Positive A good ambassador for our little city. Need people like Kristian to keep the CS meet-ups going, plus always a pleasure drinking with him.
From Yinjia Wang Beijing, China Aug 4, 2007 Positive When I saw Kristian, I didn't think he is amazing. When I talked with him, I guessed he maybe amazing. When I find him in this website, I know he is amazing!
From Ziggeries zig Portland, United States Jul 18, 2007 Positive Kristian is such an amazing person who is always looking forward to taking advantage of the next great experience life throws at him. He made our first experience hosting somebody incredible. Hopefully we can visit him in Denmark sometime!
From Nina Villadsen Ryslinge, Denmark May 22, 2007 Positive I know him a bit and finde him very nice..
From John Shannon New York, United States Apr 21, 2007 Positive Just call him kid awesome!!! Lots of fun.
From YANN93 Paris, France Apr 10, 2007 Positive Kristian hosted me two nights in Arhus, very short notice. He was incredibly nice, we spent very good time with hin, discovered Arhus, his "twins church", his beach, his university, ate some delicious lasagna and watched a very funny danish comedy.
Kristian is a very good host, helpfull, nice and very funny. I hightly recommend them as host, and as guest too.
Tanks a lot for evrythings and hope too see you again.
From Svetlana Savignac Bondy, France Apr 7, 2007 Positive We spend with Kristian two nights and he was soooooooo nice. I m very glad to discovered his town by his eyes and we had so much fun. He is very easy going and it s really nice to be his guest. Thanks a lot and be welcome in my place wherever it is...:o) see you
From Simon Marthinsen New Orleans, United States Feb 27, 2007 Positive Kristian is an awesome guy. I definitely would let him surf again.
From Cecilia Johansson Brabrand, Denmark Feb 13, 2007 Positive We have classes together at Aarhus university and have a nice tradition of drinking lots of beer at some Fridaybar..
From Peter Laurina Thornton, United States Dec 24, 2006 Positive 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.
From Anders Bertelsen Aarhus, Denmark Nov 28, 2006 Positive 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.
From Louise Bech Hansen Aarhus, Denmark Nov 22, 2006 Positive Kristian is a crazy - but nice - fellow!
And he LOVES a good argument!
You'll have fun hanging out with him.
From Lucas Flannery Kamloops, Canada Oct 22, 2006 Positive Kristian is a Generious, trusting and a kind person. I hope I will see him in the future some time.
From Annabel Cardoen Leuven, Belgium Sep 19, 2006 Positive 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.
From Hector Valcarcel Aviles, Spain Sep 14, 2006 Positive I didnt spend so much time with him but he sent me a couple of messages to meet and we were togheter for about 30 minutes.Very busy but Helpful, he said we meet and we did it. Thanks!
From Marco Bagni Reggio Emilia, Italy Aug 24, 2006 Positive He hosted me in Arhus for 3 nights, we walked around the town laughing about italian and danish differences, and spent good nights with other surfers and friends! He has a great flat!
I had really good time, hope to come back!!
From Kristian Mikkelsen Brabrand, Denmark Aug 19, 2006 Positive This man will make your stay in Århus entertaining. And we may cover for each other if a couchsurfer gives too short a notice, just so you know!
From Ben Konrath Toronto, Canada Aug 6, 2006 Positive Kristian is a really fun guy. I had a blast hosting him.
From Noemie Cliche Trudeau Montreal, Canada Jul 22, 2006 Positive Christian is a really funny and nice guy ! I had a lot of fun with him on his short stay in Montreal . Hope I will see you again in Denmark this time !!!=)
From Guillermo Gomez Miami, United States Jul 19, 2006 Hey. He'll be visiting places in the US that may have never seen a danish person before, so show him some hospitality!!!!!
He's a really cool guy!!! |
