About Me
¡HOLA! 💚
Soy Carsten (29) y ahora yo viajo en América Latina (Última parada: México City) con mi novia, Clara Kamille (28). Vivimos en Copenhague, Dinamarca. Yo hablo un poco español, y quiero aprender mucho más.
Nos gustaría quedarnos en un local en México City 🚀🇲🇽
————
After six weeks in Costa Rica and Guatemala, the last place with take our backpacks before the cold Denmark is muy caliente Mexico City. We’re here between March 23rd and 28th and would love to meet locals and experience this big city through the eyes of its residents. We would also appreciate crashing on a local’s couch as well.
We are friendly, cleanly and respectful.
We’re passionate about exploring cultural events that bring people together and reflect local traditions and creativity. We care deeply about the environment and appreciate sustainable practices that protect the places we visit. We also enjoy thoughtful conversations about societal and philosophical questions, always curious to understand the world from different perspectives.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
CS is the perfect gateway to meet interesting locals that also like to travel.
I've had a lot of great experiences staying with members, and I hope to one day be in the position to give shelter to fellow-travelers
Interests
Most of my interests involve culture; I'm a big fan of all kinds of audio-visual media, especially cinema. I think the art of cinema has a lot to offer all of us, who are willing to pay attention to the feelings and messages it brings in all of its varieties. 🎬🍿
I’m an avid chess player who enjoys to play against friends and online. I would love to teach you. ♟️🥊
As a sociologist major I’m deeply interested in culture, lifestyles and everyday life. In my thesis I took a deep dive into the interactions and rhythms of bicycle culture in Copenhagen. 🚲🌆

- traveling
- music
- communications
- football
Music, Movies, and Books
All cultural experiences are good experiences; sometimes you just have to appreciate the actual experience, not necessarily the aspects of it you didn’t like. ✨
That being said, I’m a real cherry-picker with strong feelings about music, movies and other cultural experiences. 🍒
To name a few evergreens:

🎥 The Graduate • Pulp Fiction • Ex Machina • Game of Thrones • Mr Show • Saturday Night Live
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 20, I backpacked through 🇦🇷 🇺🇾🇨🇱🇧🇴🇵🇪🇪🇨🇨🇴
I surfed a good amount of couches in Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Lima, and Bogota among others (see my references). 🏄♂️🛋️
To be invited into the homes of now friends had an incredible impact on my journey and my perspective on the different cultures of South America which truly has a special place in my heart. ❤️
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm always open for new things!
I love to share!
I would love to share my interests in art and introduce you to the music of Scandinavia - there's a lot of great things happening in the great North! 🇩🇰
What I Can Share with Hosts
As a host, you can expect a tolerant and nice couchsurfer. I'm sanitary and clean up after myself. At home I cook everyday so it won't be a problem for me to make dinner. I have cooked for hosts before to introduce them to dishes I like.
We would love to buy you dinner in exchange for your time and accommodation. 🥙👨🏻🍳
