CURRENT MISSION Trying to learn Danish ABOUT ME I currently live in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am from Canada and have spent most of my life around the capital city Ottawa. I studied industrial design there and focused my studies on service design and sustainability. I also lived in Sweden for a year in 2008/2009 where I completed a Masters degree in strategic planning for sustainability, project facilitation, leadership, and innovation. I also have a huge passion for cycling and cycling culture in cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam. I am fascinated by people, culture, and place; and I have had the opportunity to make many wonderful friends all around the world. When visiting cities I prefer to do just a lot of walking to get a sense of the place and the people, rather than doing a lot of tourist-type activities. I also love taking public transit, exploring neighbourhoods, and finding good restaurants and cafes. I love dancing, nothing formal, but just dance-clubs with good music. So if you are up for dancing, that's great! I think it's sometimes hard to find people who really like dancing and to find good places. I have had some amazing couch surfing experiences and have really enjoyed meeting all of my hosts and guests. If there is a chance for us to share a coffee, a meal, or some discussion, I think it makes the whole experience a lot better. I am 196cm tall or 6' 5"... you can't see this in my profile photos, but it makes it easy to find me in a crowd :) Best of luck to everyone for excellent CS experiences! :) PHILOSOPHY Be honest. Be humble. Find joy in the simplest things. Cherish friendship and diversity, and always try to understand the other persons perspective. Always focus on the positive, because there are many positive things going on.
