Hiii couchsurfers! My name's Elise - I'm a 28 yr old from the US living in Copenhagen! I'm currently working on my PhD in the unintended consequences of sustainability. I'm a super active person - doing activism for climate justice and equality and fighting food waste through volunteer work in my free time.

Other things I like to do: I love dancing and especially pole dancing! I'm obsessed with pole fitness and go almost every day. I love cooking but enjoy it most when I have someone to share it with. Cooking is my favorite way of relaxing. I love going out on the weekends with friends or staying in together for a poker night or somethin. :-) Just recently started dj-ing and tattoo-ing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love talking to people and exploring - and I've found both of those when I've been traveling and have been staying in hostels, for example. I always end up meeting interesting, inviting people and typically team up with strangers to go on some kind of adventure together. I feel like CS is much like that but at a more intimate level because you're staying in someone's home. I want to couchsurf because I want to form lasting relationships with people all over the world, and become acquainted with different life practices that I don't usually encounter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good chef, especially vegetarian food. I'd love to share my cooking skills and enjoy a nice dinner/evening with you, if you're in the mood to hang out. I also love to share stories over a glass of wine. I can also give you a stick-and-poke tattoo, if you're up for that! :-)
