Aloha 🌺

Traveler. Adventurer. Thinker. Creative. Danish native. New Yorker for life. Hawaiian aloha. Californian soul. Around the world are people that are like gold. Lived in Copenhagen, LA, NYC, SF, Austin, and Honolulu. My heart echos the whole world with special affection for the Middle East. Today the world is my home, my solace, and playground. The gym hall reminiscent of team handball only an athlete knows so well left a permanent hole in my heart.

***Hopefully you resonate with this:***
For the past several years (‘24 has been quite different), I've solo traveled exploring the world full-time. These years were filled with the happiest, richest and some of the most difficult life chapters all at once, connection that defies rational explanation—even for a logical person like me, and experiences that exceed the limits of imagination. The stories are limitless. My favorite kind of people are fellow adventurers, health conscious, creative thinkers, and active explorers. Whether or not we find anything :)

********************************************************

Former techie, startup grit, big tech, but really the happiest on a mountain ridge with a camera in my hand, thrive in environments where I can utilize my creative passions, and sometimes like to put my natural cooking skills to good use. I have fluent understanding in five languages, and can navigate a few others without too much difficulty.

Passionate about healthcare, storytelling, small experiments and and big ideals. I am the kind of person who wants the bottom line first. I live for opportunity to make an impact. Touch as many lives as possible.

Obsessed with my creative outlets and take my friendships seriously — all my friendships are unconventional, and I love that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simple. Broaden my horizon + experience locally = the art of intention.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My proudest memory: Running — and finishing — an extreme race team challenge at age 15 including 44 miles (70km) road running x road cycling x harbor swimming in 43 degrees (6 C) water. We finished somewhere above the 8 hr mark. It was a glorious day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have insatiable thirst for knowledge! I love to learn and would enjoy if you can teach me anything. I‘ll gladly return the favor. Especially interested in learning Arabic, videography editing, mountaineering, free diving breathing techniques, underwater photography, and the piano.

"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." -Albert Einstein. The greatest.

Teacher of: language learning, photography, the puzzle of epigenetics and autoimmunity, cooking, functional medicine, health and nutrition, principles.

!OBS: I am not everyone’s cup of tea. If you are the type who is easily offended by objectivity and reason or just generally misinterprets everything as a problem created in your own mind, we’re *no* match. Likewise, if you reach out to me because you have ulterior interest in me which I *will not* reciprocate only to write a negative review, please don’t bother hitting the send button.
