CURRENT MISSION

I have no pending missions...

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded and interested in other people and cultures. I'm 27 years old. I really prefer to get under the skin of the places I'm going. So rather than going in large groups and seeing a ton of places in little time, I'd rather go for longer spells at the same place. So far that has meant that I haven't done a longer backpacking trip, on the other hand I have lived for 6 months or more in 4 countries (besides Denmark) in the last 7 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of it, while you have the chance...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now by hosting and offering a couch at the commune where I live, but later on I can definitely see myself surfing around...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few times myself. It was a very positive experience. I also had a lovely stay in Madrid with some fellow surfers. Liked to meet other people based in other cultures and hope this experience will occur several more times. The sooner the better !

Interests

Like most of you guys, saying I'm interested in travelling would be a gross understatement.
Reading, surfing (in the water, not the internet), art and culture, wine and just live life to the fullest. Going new places, seeing new places, experiencing different cultures with open senses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is always hard to pick out a few things, so out of lack of clear memory I'd prefer to answer this when I either host surfers or are surfing myself. But then ask, and I'll try to answer better.
I can say, however, that walking across the Peruvian/Chilean border and along the train tracks in Chile was something I thoroughly enjoyed. I finally felt like part of On The Road...
